Ambition becomes displeasing when it is once satiated; there is a reaction; and as our spirit, till our last sigh, is always aiming toward some object, it falls back on itself, having nothing else on which to rest; and having reached the summit, it longs to descend.
For souls nobly born, valor doesn't await the passing of years
I am young, it is true; but in noble souls valor does not wait for years.
He who pardons easily invites offense.
How delicious is pleasure after torment!
My sweetest hope is to lose hope
