Truce is the dying cry of the weak and the sick.
To rule well, one must know the people he rules.
The road back to power is cobbled with indignities.
The best part of granting favors, gentlemen, is the day they return to you.
Sometimes, hearts are broken and they cannot be pieced together again.
Sometimes a draw is as good as a victory.
Relations. One cannot select them as we do our friends.
Real power comes from being true to one’s self.
Our imaginations outrun us.
Obscurity is a much worse fate after death.
My only fear is that I might awaken in my bed, destined to live a common life once again.
Minds can be easily persuaded of anything.
