Oh rage! Oh despair! Oh age, my enemy!
One often calms one's grief by recounting it.
A liar is always lavish of oaths.
The greater the effort, the greater the glory.
To conquer without risk is to triumph without glory.
A true king is neither husband nor father he considers his throne and nothing else.
Happiness seems made to be shared.
Self-love is the source of all our other loves.
The fire which seems extinguished often slumbers beneath the ashes.
Each instant of life is a step toward death.
I don't know how to defend myself: surprised innocence cannot imagine being under suspicion.
Every man of courage is a man of his word.
Time is a great manager: it arranges things well.
Among wellborn spirits courage does not depend on age.
He who does not fear death cares naught for threats.
To die for one's country is such a worthy fate that all compete for so beautiful a death.
We never taste happiness in perfection, our most fortunate successes are mixed with sadness.
We never taste a perfect joy our happiest successes are mixed with sadness.
To win without risk is to triumph without glory.
My sweetest hope is to lose hope.
