Death holds no horrors. It is simply the ultimate horror of life.

The spirit of a nation is what counts-the look in its eyes.

You're an Attorney. It's your duty to lie, conceal, and distort everything, and slander everybody.

Falsehood is the jockey of misfortune.

A faithful woman looks to the spring, a good book, perfume, earthquakes, and divine revelation for the experience others find in a lover. They deceive their husbands, so to speak, with the entire world, men excepted.

It's odd how people waiting for you stand out far less clearly than people you are waiting for.
