Great battles are won with artillery.

Napoleon I 1044 quotes

It would be a joke if the conduct of the victor had to be justified to the vanquished.

Napoleon I 1044 quotes

Sometimes a single battle deci...

Sometimes a single battle decides everything and sometimes, too, the slightest circumstance decides the issue of a battle. There is a moment in every battle at which the least manoeuvre is decisive and gives superiority, as one drop of water causes overflow.

Napoleon I 1044 quotes

The basic principle that we must follow in directing the armies of the Republic is this: that they must feed themselves on war at the expense of the enemy territory.

Napoleon I 1044 quotes

In war, moral factors acount f...

In war, moral factors acount for three quarters of the whole; relative material strength accounts for only one quarter.

Napoleon I 1044 quotes

It should not be believed that a march of three or four days in the wrong direction can be corrected by a countermarch. As a rule, this is to make two mistakes instead of one.

Napoleon I 1044 quotes

There is no man more pusillani...

There is no man more pusillanimous than I when I am planning a campaign. I purposely exaggerate all the dangers and all the calamities that the circumstances make possible. I am in a thoroughly painful state of agitation. This does not keep me from looking quite serene in front of my entourage; I am like an unmarried girl laboring with child. Once I have made up my mind, everything is forgotten except what leads to success.

Napoleon I 1044 quotes

There are in Europe many good generals, but they see too many things at once. I see one thing, namely the enemy's main body. I try to crush it, confident that secondary matters will then settle themselves.

Napoleon I 1044 quotes

If you wage war, do it energetically and with severity. This is the only way to make it shorter and consequently less inhuman.

Napoleon I 1044 quotes

In war, as in politics, no evi...

In war, as in politics, no evil - even if it is permissible under the rules - is excusable unless it is absolutely necessary. Everything beyond that is a crime.

Napoleon I 1044 quotes

In time of revolution, with perseverance and courage, a soldier should think nothing impossible.

The secret of war lies in the communications.

One bad general is worth two good ones.

Napoleon I 1044 quotes

He that makes war without many mistakes has not made war very long.

Napoleon I 1044 quotes

An army's effectiveness depends on its size, training, experience, and morale, and morale is worth more than any of the other factors combined.

Napoleon I 1044 quotes

Strategy is the art of making use of time and space. I am less concerned about the later than the former. Space we can recover, lost time never.

Napoleon I 1044 quotes

You do not get peace by shouting: Peace. Peace is a meaningless word; what we need is a glorious peace.
