Master of the universe but not of myself, I am the only rebel against my absolute power.
When there is no peril in the fight there is no glory in the triumph.
As great as kings may be, they are what we are: they can err like other men.
A first impulse was never a crime.
Let us attend to the present, and as to the future we shall know how to manage when the occasion arrives.
Guess if you can, choose if you dare.
