I willed, and always willed, and strongly willed.
Volli, sempre volli, fortissimamente volli.

More quotes by Vittorio Alfieri
Ofttimes the test of courage becomes rather to live than to die.
To err is human; but contrition felt for the crime distinguishes the virtuous from the wicked.
Where there are laws, he who has not broken them need not tremble.
Disgrace does not consist in the punishment, but in the crime.
