Vlad the Impaler

"Power respects only those willing to seize it."

"My reign was brief but eternal in its impact."

"To understand the impaler is to understand survival."

"The forest speaks of those who dared oppose me."

"A man who hesitates is a man already defeated."

"I am the shadow of Wallachia."

"Those who remember fear will remember me."

"The earth itself knows my name and trembles."

"To rule is to be willing to damn yourself for your people."

"My cruelty was love for my realm."

"The impaler's mark is eternal."
