Forgiveness to the injured does belong; but they ne'er pardon who have done wrong.
Jealousy is the jaundice of the soul.
Successful crimes alone are justified.
To die is landing on some distant shore.
But love's a malady without a cure.
God never made His work for man to mend.
It is madness to make fortune the mistress of events, because by herself she is nothing and is ruled by prudence.
Love is not in our choice but in our fate.
Never was patriot yet, but was a fool.
The first is the law, the last prerogative.
What passions cannot music raise or quell?
Repentance is but want of power to sin.
Pains of love be sweeter far than all other pleasures are.
Even victors are by victories undone.
Time, place, and action may with pains be wrought, but genius must be born; and never can be taught.
