Power is my mistress. I have worked too hard at her conquest to allow anyone to take her away from me.

If I had not been defeated in Acre against Jezzar Pasha of Turk. I would conquer all of the East.

I am surrounded by priests who repeat incessantly that their kingdom is not of this world, and yet they lay their hands on everything they can get.

Brave deeds are the monuments of brave men.

From triumph to downfall there is but one step. I have noted that, in the most momentous occasions, mere nothings have always decided the outcome of the greatest events.

We should wash our dirty linen at home.

To be believed make the truth unbelievable.
