It is better to believe in men too rashly, and regret, than believe too meanly. Men could be more than they are, if they would try for it. He has shown them that.

In all men is evil sleeping; the good man is he who will not awaken it, in himself or in other men.

I thought, There goes my lord, whom I was born to follow. I have found a King. And, I said to myself, looking after him as he walked away, I will have him, if I die for it.

death was the price of life.

Do not believe that others will die, not you.... I have wrestled with Thanatos knee to knee and I know how death is vanquished. Man's immortality is not to live forever; for that wish is born of fear. Each moment free from fear makes a man immortal.

A man is at his youngest when he thinks he is a man, not yet realizing that his actions must show it.

It is something, I thought, when a king can put a courtesan to the blush.
