Princess Marie, to the Pope, shortly before being committed to an asylum: 'You're looking ravishing today your Holiness, and my bedchamber is currently unoccupied'

(The princess spent the rest of her life in the asylum, purely from her family's embarrassment.

General Michel Valois, during the Battle of Brest: 'Call this an artillery barrage?'
(half his army died before he allowed a limited retreat to cover)
Welcome to 1938.

I thought ten thousand swords must have leaped from their scabbards to avenge even a look that threatened her with insult. But the age of chivalry is gone. That of sophisters, economists, and calculators has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is extinguished for ever.

Cool. 17/20.

Our most famous leader is Gianligi Virearo, the first benevolent dictator the country ever had. He imposed the significant law of restricting beer to people over 13, when they had their 'pereri', and became a man.

"Be careful when supping the cream of freedom, so you don't choke." - Virearo, after ending the Vesci Civil War.

"Never trust friends. The only people you can truly trust are your enemies." - Virearo, during his 'Unify Us' campaign.

"There are many who profess to understand the basic tenets of combat and yet who have never once set foot upon a battlefield. They will tell you exactly what you did wrong, touting this principle or that and quoting old generals as if their words were from God himself. But anyone who's actually led men into battle knows this one, basic truth: always keep on the move, pushing forward with everything you have as fast as you can. Even if sometimes that happens to be in the opposite direction from the enemy."
- then-Colonel Ian Smith Friedle, following the Siege of Umtali
