It is hard to hate what one has loved, and a half-extinguished fire is soon relit.
He who despises life is his life's master.
It is a crime against the State to be powerful enough to commit one.
He who allows himself to be insulted deserves to be.
How much must I overcome before I triumph?
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.
