Help yourself and God will help you

I answered the voice that I was a poor girl who knew nothing of riding and warfare.

The Maid and her soldiers will have the victory. Therefore the Maid is willing that you, Duke of Bedford, should not destroy yourself.

I shall last a year, and but little longer: we must think to do good work in that year. Four things are laid upon me: to drive out the English; to bring you to be crowned and anointed at Reims; to rescue the Duke of Orléans from the hands of the English; and to raise the siege of Orléans.

It is true I wished to escape; and so I wish still: is not this lawful for all prisoners?

All battles are first won or lost, in the mind.

In God's name let us go on bravely.
