Heaven often regulates effects by their causes, and pays the wicked what they have deserved.
If you betray me, can I take a better revenge than to love the person you hate?
He who despises life is his life's master.
It is the guilt, not the scaffold, which constitutes the shame.
It is hard to hate what one has loved, and a half-extinguished fire is soon relit.
It is the crime not the scaffold which is the disgrace.
