Only those who feel little in the eyes of God, can hope to be mighty in the eyes of men.
Nothing that is really good and God-like dies.
Who has no own conviction dissipates himself in the imitation of others.
They managed to sleep together, but there wasn't enough for dreaming.
Who has never exploded in a fury does not know love either.
Tears are the messengers of true love.
Sorrow eats your heart and courage.
Freedom is where you can live, as pleases a brave heart; where you can live according to the customs and laws of your Fathers; where you are made happy by that which made your most distant ancestors happy.
The brave man, indeed, calls himself lord of the land, through his iron, through his blood.
