Liberty may be of no more use Than stirring up the flame of civil wars; Then, by disorder fatal to the world, One wants no king, the other wants no equal.

It is the gift of heaven and not of reason.

Be it only for a day, it is still a glory without equal to be master of the world just that day.

Every brave man is a man of his word; to such base vices he cannot stoop, and shuns more than death the shame of lying.

Desire increases when fulfillment is postponed.

He who allows himself to be insulted deserves to be.

The greater the risk, the sweeter the fruit.
