Additional quotes by Napoleon

I have to say it: I didn't have the courage.

In civil war it is not given to every man to know how to conduct himself. There is something more than military prudence necessary; there is need of sagacity and the knowledge of men.

The only victories which leave no regret are those which are gained over ignorance.
