More quotes by Napoleon
I never was truly my own master but was always ruled by circumstances.
The greater the man, the less is he opinionative, he depends upon events and circumstances.
Sometimes a great example is necessary to all the public functionaries of the state.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
