My favorite quote must either be "Teneo te Africa," or "Let the dice fly high." The latter of which I put in English because of the issue regarding the popularity of quoting it in Latin even though Caesar is believed to have said the words in Greek. I also prefer the meaning when translated into English in this way.


Our fate was shared a while when

I sought to conquer the world for you and I 

But the truth was stricken upon my return 

and no chisel could recover it

The sun itself once followed my will

But you, too discontent to let it be

And so it was my legacy you meddled with

My influence you cast out in exchange for a

feeble grasp, and my eternal quest for vengeance

Inspired by great people being erased from the history books by their successors, but refusing to be forgotten.
