Constantine the Great

By this sign, you shall conquer.

I have ever made the most earnest endeavor to lead all nations to the worship of God.

Our purpose is to grant to the Christians and to all others full authority to observe that religion which each preferred.

Let no one disturb another, but let each man hold fast to that which he believes to be true.

It has been my first and chief object to bring all the nations of the earth to a unity of religious sentiment.

The most glorious victory is that which is gained over the heart of man.

I have learned by experience that the best way to govern is to be just and merciful.

To be loved is to be feared.

The welfare of the state depends on the piety of its citizens.

Let us therefore, with all diligence, remove every cause of dissension.

It is my earnest desire that all the peoples of my empire should be united in the same religious sentiments.

The one great object of my life has been to bring all nations to the worship of God.

I have always considered the prosperity of the state to be inseparable from the worship of God.

Let us strive to maintain peace and concord among ourselves.

The safety of the empire depends on the unity of the Church.

I have been called by God to be the instrument of his will.

My aim has been to establish universal peace and harmony.

Let us put an end to all strife and contention.

The greatest good is to live in peace and harmony with all men.

I have always sought to promote the welfare of my subjects.
