Sacred Bands and elite squadrons aren't what the mercenaries' guild is about. Field them at your peril.

Ask yourselves if the gods are angry, you who have seen Harmony come among us, walk among us, touch us, look kindly upon us. We are the Sacred Band of Thebes. We fight in the forefront, therefore we bleed first. We live, therefore we die.

Be polite to all, friendly to none. Be professional. Be ready to kill everyone and everything.

If it was true today, it might be untrue tomorrow.

Let fools believe what fools believe.

Be careful what you pray for.

Nothing walks the earth more savage than a mare enraged.
