Here's what Napoleon said: "Un bon croquis vaut mieux qu'un long discours".
Not so easy to translate it in any language but it is accepted as two major translations to at least English language:
1. A picture is worth a thousand words
2. A good sketch is better than a long speech
Nobody in modern world has any writing of this adage by Napoleon so it is not evident when did he just "say" this. Use your own imagination about great emperor, when could he have used this phrase; some battle, some meeting, some fancy dinner or party or whatever comes to your head.
