Every man of courage is a man of his word.

One often calms one's grief by recounting it.

To win without risk is to triumph without glory.

The greater the effort, the greater the glory.

I can be forced to live without happiness, but I will never consent to live without honor.

A true king is neither husband nor father; he considers his throne and nothing else.

The greater the effort, the greater the glory.

We never taste happiness in perfection, our most fortunate successes are mixed with sadness.

He who does not fear death cares naught for threats.

We never taste a perfect joy; our happiest successes are mixed with sadness.

Oh rage! Oh despair! Oh age, my enemy!
