Quotes from Bernard-Joseph Saurin

Valor is common but great souls are rare.

The law often permits what honor prohibits.

Death is but an instant, life a long torment.

Que pour les malheureux l'heure lentement fuit! How slowly the hours pass to the unhappy.

How long the night seems to one kept awake by pain.

Love should dare everything when it has everything to fear.
