We never taste happiness in perfection, our most fortunate successes are mixed with sadness.
From Pierre Corneille
Self-love is the source of all our other loves.
To vanquish without peril is to triumph without glory.
As great as kings may be, they are what we are: they can err like other men.
When there is no peril in the fight there is no glory in the triumph.
To win without risk is to triumph without glory.
Happiness seems made to be shared.
This dark brightness that falls from the stars.
To he who avenges a father, nothing is impossible.
To take revenge halfheartedly is to court disaster; either condemn or crown your hatred.
