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.

The greater the risk, the sweeter the fruit.

He who allows himself to be insulted deserves to be.

Each instant of life is a step toward death.

This dark brightness that falls from the stars.

If anyone wants to know what elephants are like, they are like people only more so.

I am young, it is true; but in noble souls valor does not wait for years.
