Speaking of Thomas Becket:

(Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral on December 1170.)

The Venerable Bede 673 - 735

"O King, seems to me the present life of men on earth, in comparison with that time which to us is uncertain, as if when on a winter's night you sit feasting with your ealdormen and thegns, - a single sparrow should fly swiftly into the hall, and coming in at one door, instantly fly out through another."

Slight correction for spelling: "... a retreat for the deepest core of your *beging*." (Farid ud-Din-Attar)

"Thus, the wise prince will range matters so that his subjects, in every conceivable matter and state of affairs, shall always have need of his governance, and so, they shall always be faithful to him."

"Our Earth is degenerate in these later days; there are signs that the world is speedily coming to an end; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; every man wants to write a book and the end of the world is evidently approaching."
~ Attributed to be from an Assyrian clay tablet created circa 2800 BC, housed in a Museum in Istanbul: by Georg S. Goddard, writing in 1922, in his office as Connecticut State Librarian. (The tablet in question can no-longer be located in the modern day to verify or disprove these statements about the translation and era of the text.)

“Our sires’ age was worse than our grandsires’. We, their sons, are more worthless than they; so in our turn we shall give the world a progeny yet more corrupt.”

~ Book III of Odes, Horace, circa 20 BC

"Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."
~ Attributed to Emperor Marcus Aurelius of Rome. (But likely badly miss-translated from Latin into English in a way that has completely changed it's meaning into something that it is probable the man himself would vehemently have disagreed with.)

*Rude Gesture* "I can still Pluck-Yew!"
~ Unnamed English Yeoman Archer to an equally unrecorded captured French Nobleman after the Battle of Agincourt: 25th of October, 1415. (Allegedly.)

"Let my armies be the rocks, and the trees, and the birds in the skies!"

“For it is better to drink a wholesome draught of truth from the humble vessel, than poison mixed with honey from a golden goblet.” - Nennius, author of the Historia Brittonum, 9th century AD

- William the Conqueror (1028 - 1087 AD) before the Battle of Hastings, 1066 AD

"What one of you emperors, led by zeal for God, took care to avenge so unworthy a crime and to bring back the holy church to its proper conditions? You neglected it, my master did not neglect it." - Liutprand of Cremona (920 - 972) in response to Byzantine Emperor Nikephoros II's rejection of Otto the Great's imperial claim, 968 AD

Will this mod be updated, if time allows ? There are only few quotes displaying at the moment, and people here seem to be willing to share more resources (see comments below mine).

Of course this can be done manually (I've done it), but for the sake of simplicity I prefer to use online versions of mods instead of local copies.

Thank you for your consideration.

@AntTac I was aiming to add some flair to the thumbnail, so I searched online for manuscript art and eventually came across the one I used (which I then retouched via Photoshop to make it more simplified/refined)

Wow that is a sexy thumbnail pic, where did you find the medieval capital "H"?
