Making of a Masterpiece
Some of you may be aware that one of the hobbies that I enjoy pursuing is creating recreations of medieval armour.

Not to mention the fact that it is a very well made video to boot!
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival.

"The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and assistance to foreign hands should be curtailed lest Rome fall." - Cicero, 55 BC
"It does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds." - Samuel Adams
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction" - Ronald Reagan
