“if we are anywhere defeated, which pray God would not happen, we could’t raise our heads again, as we were so few in numbers, and we could look for no help or assistance, but that which came from God, for we no longer possessed ships in which to return Cuba, but must rely on our own good swords and Stout hearts” - Hernán Cortês after burning the ships in a completely new & strange land preventing desertions.
