Every shot that kills ricochets.

Tomorrow is no man's gift.

There is no refuge from memory and remorse in this world. The spirits of our foolish deeds haunt us, with or without repentance.

There's no credit in not doing what you don't want to do. There's no virtue in not falling, when you're not tempted.

Memory is man's greatest friend and worst enemy.

Man is born in a day, and he dies in a day, and the thing is easily over; but to have a sick heart for three-fourths of one's lifetime is simply to have death renewed every morning; and life at that price is not worth living.

It is not the broken heart that kills, but broken pride, monseigneur.
