Pity melts the mind to love.

The sooner you treat your son as a man, the sooner he will be one.

Treason is greatest where trust is greatest.

Fool that I was, upon my eagle's wings I bore this wren, till I was tired with soaring, and now he mounts above me.

But dying is a pleasure / When living is a pain.
