Kindness acts Not always as you think; a hated hand Renders it odious.

It is the crime not the scaffold which is the disgrace.

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.

These flattering mirrors reflect imperfectly what is within; the countenance is often a gay deceiver. What defects of mind lie hidden under its beauty! What fair exteriors conceal base souls!

It is a crime against the State to be powerful enough to commit one.

The greater the effort, the greater the glory.

Heaven absolves all crimes committed to gain a throne Once Heaven gives it to us.
