The subject of a good tragedy must not be realistic.
The greater the effort, the greater the glory.
When a woman has the gift of silence she possesses a quality above the vulgar. It is a gift of Heaven seldom bestowed; without a little miracle it cannot be accomplished; and Nature suffers violence when Heaven puts a woman in the humor of observing silence.
To he who avenges a father, nothing is impossible
Flee an enemy who knows your weakness.
All evils are equal when they are extreme.
