Death is but an instant, life a long torment.
Love should dare everything when it has everything to fear.
Slander is a vice that strikes a double blow; wounding both him that commits, and him against whom it is committed.
The law often permits what honor prohibits.
How long the night seems to one kept awake by pain.
Que pour les malheureux l'heure lentement fuit! How slowly the hours pass to the unhappy.
Nothing is sacred to a gamester.
Valor is common but great souls are rare.
