All evils are equal when they are extreme.
The greater the effort, the greater the glory.
There are secret ties, there are sympathies, by the sweet relationship of which souls that are well matched attach themselves to each other, and are affected by I know not what, which cannot be explained
One doesn't wish to see those to whom one owes so much.
Your arm is unvanquished, but not invincible.
Be it only for a day, it is still a glory without equal to be master of the world just that day.
