MEMOIRS OF NAPOLEON, V1, by Bourrienne [nb01v10.txt]3551

His superiors, who were anxious to get rid of him
Josephine: Readily laughed at her own credulity
Not always agreeable that every truth should be told
Opinion of posterity is the real immortality of the soul
Passions are always bad counsellors

MEMOIRS OF NAPOLEON, V2, by Bourrienne [nb02v10.txt]3552

Bonaparte was a creator in the art of war
Leave ordinary letters for three weeks in the basket
Occupied with what he was thinking of than with what was said

MEMOIRS OF NAPOLEON, V3, by Bourrienne [nb03v10.txt]3553

Always meet your enemies with a bold face
Least benefit which accrues inspires the hope of a new
Look upon religions as the work of men
Napoleon loved only men with strong passions and great weakness
Religions a powerful engine of government
We never know what we wish for

MEMOIRS OF NAPOLEON, V4, by Bourrienne [nb04v10.txt]3554

Doctrine of indefinite perfectibility
Ideologues
Men were only to be governed by fear and interest
Moliere's—"I pardon you, but you shall pay me for this!"
Police, catch only fools
Trifles often decide the greatest events
Two levers for moving men,—interest and fear
Well-bred ladies can tell falsehoods without seeming to do so

MEMOIRS OF NAPOLEON, V5, by Bourrienne [nb05v10.txt]3555

Calumny has such powerful charms
Die young, and I shall have some consolatory reflection
Immortality is the recollection one leaves
Most celebrated
