Whoever comes to the feast of life, must, before it is over, drink from the cup of death. He who arrives at the inn of mortality, must one day inevitably take his departure from that house of sorrow — the world. How much better is it to die with honour than to live with infamy!

Strana 468 - The most high God has been propitious to us, and has now placed us in such a crisis, that if we fall in the field we die the death of martyrs ; if we survive, we rise victorious, the avengers of the cause of God. Let us, then, with one accord, swear on God's holy word, that none of us will even think of turning his face from this warfare, nor desert from the battle and slaughter that ensues, till his soul is separated from his body.
Strana 523 - ... beneath their level is left entirely out of sight. In Baber the figures, dress, tastes, and habits of each individual introduced are described with such minuteness and reality that we seem to live among them, and to know their persons as well as we do their characters.23 His descriptions of the countries he visited, their scenery, climate, productions, and works of art...
Strana 464 - The Rajputs, energetic, chivalrous, fond of battle and bloodshed, animated by a strong national spirit, were ready to meet face to face the boldest veterans of the camp, and were at all times prepared to lay down their life for their honour.
Strana 461 - He exhibited at his tleath but the fragments of a warrior : one eye was lost in the broil with his brother ; an arm in an action with the Lodi king of Dehli, and he was a cripple owing to a limb being broken by a cannon-ball in another; while he counted eighty wounds from the sword or the lance on various parts of his body.
