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