"I pray for the souls of all those who lost their lives in the war."

"I have been told about my war responsibility and did not see any point in living longer because it would only increase my chances of seeing or hearing things that are agonizing."

"The thought of the people suffering under the present circumstances causes me great pain. How can I, as a ruler, possibly bear to see my subjects so distressed?"

"The natural world holds many mysteries yet to be uncovered."

"The responsibility for the war lies with the military leaders, not with me."
