Bernard-Joseph Saurin quotes:

Valor is common but great souls are rare.

Nothing is sacred to a gamester.

Slander is a vice that strikes a double blow; wounding both him that commits, and him against whom it is committed.

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

The law often permits what honor prohibits.

Death is but an instant, life a long torment.

Love should dare everything when it has everything to fear.

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