Where there are laws, he who has not broken them need not tremble.
— Vittorio Alfieri
Liars are always most disposed to swear.
Disgrace does not consist in the punishment, but in the crime.
Often the test of courage is not to die but to live.
To err is human; but contrition felt for the crime distinguishes the virtuous from the wicked.
Heaven takes care that no man secures happiness by crime.
Deep vengeance is the daughter of deep silence.
Ofttimes the test of courage becomes rather to live than to die.
First thoughts are not always the best.
A usurper always distrusts the whole world.
