Cool quotes of History

Hey guys! As you can see by my signature, I like quotes. So if you have a favorite quote or just a cool sounding one then post it (with a description of it if you want) right here! This is more broad than just movie quotes like the other forum. So anything from Ancient Spartan commanders to the British Prime Minister! I'll start

"God forbid I should live and Emperor without an Empire." -Byzantine Emperor Constantine XI

In 1453, the Byzantine Empire (Which was a direct continuation of the Roman Empire) was being beaten down to just a small area out of the capital, Constantinople. When the invading Ottoman Turks offered the Emperor a chance to live in exchange for the last of the Empire, he made this famous quote and lead his troops in a final stand, dying in battle. I love this quote! It just shows how dedicated people can be!
