Every time I appoint someone to a vacant position, I make a hundred unhappy and one ungrateful.
Heaven deprives me of a wife who never caused me any other grief than that of her death.
There is little that can withstand a man who can conquer himself.
Every time I fill a vacant office, I make ten malcontents and one ingrate.
The Last Argument of Kings.
One king, one law, one faith.
