Be it only for a day, it is still a glory without equal to be master of the world just that day.
When there is no peril in the fight there is no glory in the triumph.
The greater the risk, the sweeter the fruit.
Guess if you can, choose if you dare.
After having won a scepter, few are so generous as to disdain the pleasures of ruling.
I don't know how to defend myself: surprised innocence cannot imagine being under suspicion.
