Love should dare everything when it has everything to fear..
Valor is common but great souls are rare..
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..
The law often permits what honor prohibits..
Nothing is sacred to a gamester..
Slander is a vice that strikes a double blow; wounding both him that commits, and him against whom it is committed..
Death is but an instant, life a long torment..
