Poor little men, poor little cocks! As soon as they're old enough, they swell their plumage to be conquerors. If they only knew that it's enough to be just a little bit wounded and sad in order to obtain everything without fighting for it.

Until the day of his death no man can be sure of his courage.

Love is, above all, the gift of oneself.

A good actor must never be in love with anyone but himself.

A happy love is full of quarrels, you know.

Are you in earnest? Seize this very minute! Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Only engage, and then the mind grows heated. Begin, and then the work will be completed.

It takes a certain courage and a certain greatness even to be truly base.
