Rasputin

I am a simple peasant, and I do not understand these complicated matters.

My voice is from God, and the Tsar must listen to me.

Drink and be merry, for tomorrow we die.

I am not a saint, but I am not a devil either.

If I die, or if you desert me, in six months you will lose your son and your throne.

Kiss the icons, and you will be saved.

I am a holy man. I heal the sick and I pray for the Tsar.

There are no sins that cannot be forgiven, only sins that are not confessed.

Suffer, suffer, and you will be saved.

I am a lamp, and the Tsar is the sun. We need each other.

God is in everyone, even in the drunkard and the harlot.

The world is full of evil, but God is stronger.

I am a man of God, and I know what is good for Russia.

Do not fear death, for it is the gateway to eternal life.

The Tsar listens to me because I am a simple man.

I am the light in the darkness.

There is no evil in me, only God's grace.

The devil tempts me, but God protects me.

I have a gift from God, and I use it for the good of Russia.

Do not trust anyone who tells you I am a fraud.
