The road is a long one from the projection of a thing to its accomplishment.

When we are understood, we always speak well, and then all your fine diction serves no purpose.

We are all mortals, and each is for himself.

Betrayed and wronged in everything, I’ll flee this bitter world where vice is king, And seek some spot unpeopled and apart Where I’ll be free to have an honest heart. - Molière, The Misanthrope

The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.

I will not leave you until I have seen you hanged.
