“Help yourself and God will help you”

Always stay near me, for tomorrow I will have much to do and more than I ever had, and tomorrow blood will leave my body above the breast.

The Maid and her soldiers will have the victory. Therefore the Maid is willing that you, Duke of Bedford, should not destroy yourself.

I answered the voice that I was a poor girl who knew nothing of riding and warfare.

But I must go, and I must do this thing, because my Lord will have it so. Rather now than tomorrow, and tomorrow than the day after!

Everything I have said or done is in the hands of God.

Every man gives his life for what he believes … one life is all we have to live and we live it according to what we believe.

I am not afraid; I was born to do this.

It is true that the king has made a truce with the duke of Burgundy for fifteen days and that the duke is to turn over the city of Paris at the end of fifteen days.

I am the drum on which God is beating out his message.

I would have gone nevertheless.

Hope in God. If you have good hope and faith in Him, you shall be delivered from your enemies.

How else would God speak to me, if not through my imagination?

I would rather die than do something which I know to be a sin, or to be against God’s will.

But to sacrifice what you are and to live without belief, that is a fate more terrible than dying.

Even though I saw the executioner and the fire, I could not say anything but what I have said.

I used to say, “Go boldly in among the English,” and then I used to go boldly in myself.
