Is a faith without action a sincere faith?

How good is God! How sweet his yoke!

In fine, nothing is said now that has not been said before.

To repair the irreparable ravages of time.

On the throne, one has many worries; and remorse is the one that weighs the least.

I embrace my rival, but only to strangle him.

Many a time a man cannot be such as he would be, if circumstances do not admit of it.

There are no secrets that time does not reveal.

When will the veil be lifted that casts so black a night over the universe? God of Israel, lift at last the gloom: For how long will you be hidden?

Thank the Gods! My misery exceeds all my hopes!

I loved you when you were unfaithful; what would I have done if you were true?

Do you think you can be righteous and holy with impunity?

You who love wild passions, flee the holy austerity of my pleasures. All here breathes of God, peace and truth.

None love, but they who wish to love.

By dying I wanted to maintain my honor, and hide a flame so black from the daylight!

I have everything, yet have nothing; and although I possess nothing, still of nothing am I in want.

Wrinkles on the brow are the imprints of exploits.

I have pushed virtue to outright brutality.

It's no longer a warmth hidden in my veins: it's Venus entire and whole fastening on her prey.

Innocence has nothing to dread.
