Each instant of life is a step toward death.

• Oh rage! Oh despair! Oh age, my enemy!
• Every man of courage is a man of his word.
• He who does not fear death cares naught for threats.
• To die for one's country is such a worthy fate that all compete for so beautiful a death.
• Each instant of life is a step toward death.
• He who does not fear death cares naught for threats.
• Happiness seems made to be shared.
• We never taste happiness in perfection, our most fortunate successes are mixed with sadness.
• I can be forced to live without happiness, but I will never consent to live without honor.
• My sweetest hope is to lose hope.
