How Delicious Is Pleasure After Torment!

Ambition Becomes Displeasing When It Is Once Satiated; There Is A Reaction; And As Our Spirit, Till Our Last Sigh, Is Always Aiming Toward Some Object, It Falls Back On Itself, Having Nothing Else On Which To Rest; And Having Reached The Summit, It Longs To Descend.

Brave Men Are Brave From The Very First. [fr., Les Hommes Valeureux Le Sont Au Premier Coup.]

Violence Is Just, Where Kindness Is Vain.

We Never Taste A Perfect Joy; Our Happiest Successes Are Mixed With Sadness.

A Good Memory Is Needed Once We Have Lied. [fr., Il Faut Bonne Memoire Apres Qu'on A Menti.]
