The years go by one after the other; time slips past us with out our being aware of it; we grow old like ordinary men and we shall end like them.
Laws are the sovereigns of sovereigns.
Every time I fill a vacant office, I make ten malcontents and one ingrate.
It is legal because I wish it.
Why are you weeping ? Did you imagine that I was immortal ?
Heaven deprives me of a wife who never caused me any other grief than that of her death.
