Truth never damages a cause that is just.

God grant that I may never live to be useless!

Mi dignidad le pide a quien no me hace daño que no me haga daño, y a quien me hace daño no le pide nada.

My dignity asks him who does me no harm to do me no harm. Of him who harms me it asks nothing.

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.

May good prevail, and justify my deed.

It certainly was not my intention to make you suffer, yet i have done so; obviously it never will be my intention to make you suffer, yet I shall always do so.

Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended.

But may God, who grants pardon and loves to save man, in his goodness, give strength to us and make prosperous the Holy See.

O God! Whatever punishment you inflict upon me, do not punish me with the humiliation of being veiled from Thee.

I confess that, speaking as a mere soldier or statesman, there is no probability of my ruin; yet, as a Christian, I must tell you that God will not suffer rebels and traitors to prosper, nor this cause be overthrown, and whatever personal punishment it shall please hi to inflict on me, must not make me repine, much less give over this quarrel... Indeed, I cannot flatter myself with the expectation of good success more than this, to end my days with honour and a good conscience.

No man shall be blamed in the maintenance of his own religion.

I do no­body harm, I say none harm, I think none harm, but wish everybody good. And if this be not enough to keep a man alive, in good faith, I long not to live.

But the souls of the righteous are in the hand of God, and no torment will ever touch them.
