A monarch must sometimes rule even himself: He who wants everything must risk very little.

Pierre Corneille

My reason, it's true, controls my feelings,
But whatever its authority,
It doesn't rule them so much as tyrannize them.

Pierre Corneille

He has served me too well;
By increasing my power he has stolen it away:
He is now my subject only so long as he pleases.
He who allows me to rule is in fact my master.
