Joan Of Arc

King of England, and you, duke of Bedford, who call yourself regent of the kingdom of France... settle your debt to the king of Heaven; return to the Maiden, who is envoy of the king of Heaven, the keys to all the good towns you took and violated in France.

I saw them with my bodily eyes as clearly as I see you. And when they departed, I used to weep and wish they would take me with them.

I place trust in God, my creator, in all things; I love Him with all my heart.

Of the love or hatred God has for the English, I know nothing, but I do know that they will all be thrown out of France, except those who die there.

If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me.

I would rather die than do something which I know to be a sin, or to be against God's will.

About Jesus Christ and the Church, I simply know they're just one thing.

It is true that the king has made a truce with the duke of Burgundy for fifteen days and that the duke is to turn over the city of Paris at the end of fifteen days. Yet you should not marvel if I do not enter that city so quickly.

I was in my thirteenth year when I heard a voice from God to help me govern my conduct. And the first time I was very much afraid.

Children say that people are hung sometimes for speaking the truth.

In God's name let us go on bravely.

About Jesus Christ and the Church, I simply know they're just one thing, and we shouldn't complicate the matter.

I am the drum on which God is beating out his message.

Men are sometimes hanged for telling the truth.

The poor folk gladly came to me, for I did them no unkindness, but helped them as much as I could.

Hope in God. If you have good hope and faith in Him, you shall be delivered from your enemies.

I die for speaking the language of the angels.

The Maid and her soldiers will have the victory. Therefore the Maid is willing that you, Duke of Bedford, should not destroy yourself.

Do you know whether or not you are in God's grace? Joan: If I am not, may God put me there; and if I am, may God so keep me.

Every man gives his life for what he believes. Every woman gives her life for what she believes. Sometimes people believe in little or nothing, nevertheless they give up their lives to that little or nothing. One life is all we have, and we live it as we believe in living it, and then it's gone. But to surrender what you are, and live without belief - that's more terrible than dying - more terrible than dying young.

I was admonished ot adopt feminine clothes; I refused, and still refuse. As for other avocations of women, there are plenty of other women to perform them.
