I embrace my rival, but only to strangle him.
The heart that can no longer love passionately must with fury hate.
He who bridles the fury of the billows knows also to put a stop to the secret plans of the wicked. Submitting with respect to His holy will, I fear God, and have no other fear.
Me, rule? Me, place the State under my law, when my feeble reason no longer rules even myself!
Too much virtue can be criminal.
He who ruleth the raging of the sea, knows also how to check the designs of the ungodly. I submit myself with reverence to His Holy Will. O Abner, I fear my God, and I fear none but Him.
