As you know, no one over thirty years of age is afraid of tittle-tattle. I myself find it much less difficult to strangle a man than to fear him.

We read for instruction, for correction, and for consolation.

Life is too short to be able to love as one should.

Great armies are nothing but a collection of weakness.

It is a far greater happiness to obey no one than to rule the whole world.

I love men, not because they are men, but because they are not women

I was born, have lived, and will die free.
