I have deserved neither so much honor or so much disgrace.

I don't know how to defend myself: surprised innocence cannot imagine being under suspicion.

It is an imprudence common to kings to listen to too much advice and to err in their choice.

How much must I overcome before I triumph?

He who allows himself to be insulted deserves to be.

Heaven often regulates effects by their causes, and pays the wicked what they have deserved.

As great as kings may be, they are what we are: they can err like other men.
