Heaven Absolves All Crimes Committed

Happiness Seems Made To Be Shared.

After Having Won A Scepter, Few Are So Generous As To Disdain The Pleasures Of Ruling.

These Flattering Mirrors Reflect Imperfectly What Is Within; The Countenance Is Often A Gay Deceiver. What Defects Of Mind Lie Hidden Under Its Beauty! What Fair Exteriors Conceal Base Souls!

Whoever Can Do As He Pleases, Commands When He Entreats.

An Example Is Often A Deceptive Mirror, And The Order Of Destiny, So Troubling To Our Thoughts, Is Not Always Found Written In Things Past
