Just as We never taste happiness in perfection, our most fortunate successes are mixed with sadness. So too we never taste sadness completely, as things could always be worse in some way and for this we can be grateful.

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

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

He who allows me to rule is in fact my master

Good fortune leads one to the highest glory, But to renounce it calls for equal courage.

Ah, though a Roman, I am not less a man.

We never taste a perfect joy; our happiest successes are mixed with sadness.
