Qoutes

[Rodion Romanovich]

Nice! I also have some quotes, although they're mostly viking quotes. Here are some:

- Each must do as his destiny decides
from Njal's saga

- Cattle die, friends die, even you die : but I know one that never die, the judgement over dead men
from Havamal, the High song of Odin

- The limp man can ride, the deaf can fight, but a corpse is no use to anyone
from Havamal, the High song of Odin

- 793. In this year terrible signs displayed over Northumbria - there was fire in the sky and firedragons flew through the air
Anglo-Saxon chronicle

- Never have I heard more terrible singing than from the Slesians - like snarling from the throat, like barking dogs, only more terrible
Ibrahim ibn Yakub

Some random dark age and Medieval-related quotes:
=======================================
- The purpose of all war is ultimately peace
Saint Augustine

- Miracles are not contrary to nature, only contrary to what we know about nature
Saint Augustine

- If soldiers were to begin to think, not one of them would remain in the army
Frederick the great

don't know about the last one though, it might be from a too late period. I don't know which Frederick earned the title "the great", so I can't check up from which date the quote could be, but it's probably from a too late period (but it's a good quote).

Unfortunately I couldn't find any more good quotes than these, but I'll keep looking.
