All evils are equal when they are extreme.
Pierre Corneille
One often calms one’s grief by recounting it.
To conquer without risk is to triumph without glory.
The manner of giving is worth more than the gift.
And the combat ceased for want of combatants.
Every man of courage is a man of his word.
Deceit is the game of petty spirits, and that is by nature a woman’s quality.
A service beyond all recompense Weighs so heavy that it almost gives offense.
