 "A soldier uses arms merely with skill, whereas a knight uses them
 with virtuous intention. Mercenaries may be excellent soldiers; but
 an action which may be praised in a soldier may be blamed in a
 knight. For a soldier, the goal is victory: for the knight, since he
 is ready to go, if necessary, to certain destruction, the goal is
 honor."   - Pomponio Torelli, 1596.

Hmmm, I just love this insert.  I can think many of our ansteorran knights
that the last sentence would pertain to.
