It Is My Turn Now; And If

The Bravest Man Feels An Anxiety 'circa Praecordia' As He Enters The Battle; But He Dreads Disgrace Yet More.

If A Man Consults Whether He Is To Fight, When He Has The Power In His Own Hands, It Is Certain That His Opinion Is Against Fighting.

First Gain The Victory And Then Make The Best Use Of It You Can.

I Will Dine Nowhere Without Your Consent Although With My Present Feelings I Might Be Trusted With Fifty Virgins Naked In A Dark Room.

Thank God I Have Done My Duty.
