Pierre Corneille

To take revenge halfheartedly is to court disaster; either condemn or crown your hatred.

I agree to, or rather aspire to, my doom.

True, I am young, but for souls nobly born valor doesn't await the passing of years.

When the patient loves his disease, how unwilling he is to allow a remedy to be applied.

I can be forced to live without happiness, but I will never consent to live without honor.

When there is no peril in the fight there is no glory in the triumph.

Ambition, having reached the summit, longs to descend.

Love lives on hope, and dies when hope is dead; It is a flame which sinks for lack of fuel.
