“Above all else, do not fear to climb the victory tower.”

“There's no secret to winning. Act boldly when you need to, and be cautious when you must.”

“War was so simple, wasn't it? Much simpler than justice.”

“How can it be men would put up with such an arrangement?''Why do some people demand it of women but not of men? It is just another way of doing things. As my father would have said, folk will have their customs according to their nature and their surroundings.”

“Can we ever see the truth when desire blinds us? Or do we call it the truth because it is what we wish to see?”

“Listen, my father had written. Listen to hear if they are telling the truth or only part of the truth, for that is the lesson of history: that the victors tell the tale of their triumph in a manner to grant accolades to themselves and heap blame upon their rivals. Ask yourself if part of the story is being withheld by design or ignorance.”
