Whatever the truth is about Jehanne d’Arc….she’s a girl after my own heart :o)

 

“I am not afraid… I was born to do this.”

“Men are sometimes hanged for telling the truth”

“Truly, if you were to tear me limb from limb and separate my soul from my body, I would not say anything more. If I did say anything, afterwards I would always declare that you made me say it by force.”

“Even though I saw the executioner and the fire, I could not say anything but what I have said.”

“If ever I do escape, no one shall reproach me with having broken or violated my faith, not having given my word to any one, whosoever it may be.”

“Courage! Do not fall back; in a little the place will be yours. Watch! When the wind blows my banner against the bulwark, you shall take it.”

“All battles are first won or lost, in the mind.”
