How long the night seems to one kept awake by pain.
Valor is common but great souls are rare.
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.
Nothing is sacred to a gamester.
Death is but an instant, life a long torment.
The law often permits what honor prohibits.
Que pour les malheureux l'heure lentement fuit! How slowly the hours pass to the unhappy.
