Cowards have done good and kind actions, but a coward never pardoned.

I know that we often tremble at an empty terror; yet the false fancy brings a real misery.

The worst of me is known, and I can say that I am better than the reputation I bear.

Only the soldier is a free man, because he can look death in the face.

If you have never seen beauty in a moment of suffering, you have never seen beauty at all. If you have never seen joy in a beautiful face, you have never seen joy at all.

The iron chain and the silken cord are both equally bonds.

Grace is the beauty of form under the influence of freedom.
