In relating our misfortunes, we often feel them lightened.
Happiness seems made to be shared.
Your arm is unvanquished, but not invincible.
They who overcome their desires once can overcome them always.
Generosity is the accompaniment of high birth; pity and gratitude are its attendants.
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.
