All battles are first won or lost, in the mind.
I used to say, "Go boldly in among the English," and then I used to go boldly in myself.
I am not afraid; I was born to do this.
I fear nothing for God is with me!
Far rather would I sit and sew beside my poor mother, for this thing is not of my condition. But I must go, and I must do this thing, because my Lord will have it so. Rather now than tomorrow, and tomorrow than the day after!
Truly, if you were to tear me limb from limb and separate my soul from my body, I would not say anything more. If I did say anything, afterwards I would always declare that you made me say it by force!
