Quotes

• “Be it so. This burning of widows is your custom; prepare the funeral pile. But my nation has also a custom. When men burn women alive we hang them, and confiscate all their property. My carpenters shall therefore erect gibbets on which to hang all concerned when the widow is consumed. Let us all act according to national customs.”
• “the great receipt for quieting a country is a good thrashing first and great kindness afterwards: the wildest chaps are thus tamed.”
• “The human mind is never better disposed to gratitude and attachment than when softened by fear.”
• “Come here instantly. Come here at once and make your submission, or I will in a week tear you from the midst of your village and hang you.”
• “War is detestable and not to be desired by a nation’, adding, 'It falls not so heavily upon soldiers – it is our calling; but its horrors alight upon the poor, upon the miserable, upon the unhappy, upon those who feel the expense and the suffering, but have not the glory.”
