Pierre Corneille

“He who does not fear death cares naught for threats.”

“Oh rage! Oh despair! Oh age, my enemy!”

“Every man of courage is a man of his word.”

“Happiness seems made to be shared.”

“The greater the effort, the greater the glory.”

“I can be forced to live without happiness, but I will never consent to live without honor.”

“We never taste happiness in perfection, our most fortunate successes are mixed with sadness.”

“Self-love is the source of all our other loves.”
