Everyone always dies for his country. If you have lived in it, well and wisely and actively, you die for it too.

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

I'm not afraid of death. It's the stake one puts up in order to play the game of life.

Those who weep recover more quickly than those who smile.

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

Half the human race can change its name and sometimes its nation without suffering — at least half! All women!

Faithful women are all alike, they think only of their fidelity, never of their husbands.
