“Why do you weep? Did you think I was immortal?”

Has God forgotten everything I’ve done for him ?

The Last Argument of Kings.

Impatience for victory guarantees defeat.

In every treaty, insert a clause which can easily be violated, so that the entire agreement can be broken in case the interests of the State make it expedient to do so.

One king, one law, one faith.

I see no point in reading.

I could sooner reconcile all Europe than two women.

I am the State.

There is little that can withstand a man who can conquer himself.

Only small minds want always to be right.

Ah, if I were not king, I should lose my temper.

The years go by one after the other; time slips past us with out our being aware of it; we grow old like ordinary men and we shall end like them.

Laws are the sovereigns of sovereigns.

Heaven deprives me of a wife who never caused me any other grief than that of her death.

It is legal because I wish it.

Every time I fill a vacant office, I make ten malcontents and one ingrate.

Much of my life had been devoted to trying not to cry in front of people who loved me.

Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else’s hands, but not you.

We need some creative tension; people crying out for the things they want.

People cry not because they’re weak, it’s because they’ve been strong for too long.

Usually when people are sad, they don’t do anything. They just cry over their condition. But when they get angry, they bring about a change.

Smile more than you cry, give more than you take, and love more than you hate.

Love is a shadow. How you lie and cry after it

Those who suffer most cry out the least.
