Every brave man is a man of his word; to such base vices he cannot stoop, and shuns more than death the shame of lying.
He who despises life is his life's master.
It is the guilt, not the scaffold, which constitutes the shame.
When obedience is so impious, revolt is a necessity.
After having won a scepter, few are so generous as to disdain the pleasures of ruling.
How much must I overcome before I triumph?
