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

Severity is allowable where gentleness has no effect.

He who forgives readily only invites offense.

Generosity is the accompaniment of high birth; pity and gratitude are its attendants.

Have others fear you, and I will have no fear.

Every man of courage is a man of his word.

I believe everything to be just when a king ordains it.
