Josephus failed to organize a strong stand against the Romans. The Jewish forces suffered setback after setback. Finally, Josephus and his men were forced to retreat to the fortress of Jotapata. After a siege of two months, Jotapata fell. The forty men who were left in the fortress killed themselves before the Romans entered it. Of all the brave fighters of Jotapata, only Josephus and his armor-bearer survived, and they were taken prisoners by the Romans. They had not joined the others who preferred death to dishonor.
Flavius Josephus
The best fortress which a prince can possess is the affection of his people.
Niccolo Machiavelli
Partition is after all only an old fortress of crumbled masonry — held together with the plaster of fiction.
Eamon de Valera
The house of every one is to him as his castle and fortress, as well for his defence against injury and violence as for his repose.
Edward Coke
Literal Translation: A firm fortress is our God,
a good defense and weapon.
He frees us from all need,
that has struck us.Martin Luther
