Do your duty and leave the rest to the gods.
Obedience is a hard profession.
PIERRE CORNEILLE, Nicomède
Ambition displeases when it has been sated ... having reached the peak, it aspires to descend.
The crime and not the scaffold makes the shame.
All evils are equal when they are extreme.
To take revenge halfheartedly is to court disaster: Either condemn or crown your hatred.
PIERRE CORNEILLE, Rodogune
He who forgives readily only invites offense.
A good memory is needed once we have lied.
PIERRE CORNEILLE, Le Menteur
