If there is pleasure in conquest with the sword, it is no less sweet illuminating with the torch. Glory for glory, it is better to leave sparks of light than trails of blood.

Si hay placer en conquistar con la espada, no falta dulzura en iluminar con l'antorcha. Gloria por gloria, vale más dejar chispas de luz que regueros de sangre.
