Many, many interesting sayings have been attributed to Bonaparte (and translated into English). Here is a sampling:
“Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”
“Courage isn't having the strength to go on - it is going on when you don't have strength.”
"The strong man is the one who is able to intercept at will the communication between the senses and the mind."
“In politics, stupidity is not a handicap.”
“He who fears being conquered is sure of defeat.”
“You don't reason with intellectuals. You shoot them.”
"One should never forbid what one lacks the power to prevent."
“The only victories which leave no regret are those which are gained over ignorance.”
“A leader is a dealer in hope.”
“Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools.”
“Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich.”
"There is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at, and who steals what is most precious to men: time."
