There are no more worlds to conquer!

There is something noble in hearing myself ill spoken of, when I am doing well.

I had rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent, than in the extent of my power and dominion.

On their side more men are standing, on ours more will fight!

Holy shadows of the dead, I'm not to blame for your cruel and bitter fate, but the accursed rivalry which brought sister nations and brother people, to fight one another. I do not feel happy for this victory of mine. On the contrary, I would be glad, brothers, if I had all of you standing here next to me, since we are united by the same language, the same blood and the same visions.

Sex and sleep alone make me conscious that I am mortal.

Without Knowledge, Skill cannot be focused. Without Skill, Strength cannot be brought to bear and without Strength, Knowledge may not be applied.
