Youth, beauty, graceful action seldom fail: But common interest always will prevail; And pity never ceases to be shown To him who makes the people's wrongs his own.

Successful crimes alone are justified.

Old as I am, for ladies' love unfit, The power of beauty I remember yet.

Desire of greatness is a godlike sin.

Thou tyrant, tyrant Jealousy, Thou tyrant of the mind!

No king nor nation one moment can retard the appointed hour.

Honor is but an empty bubble.
