A dangerous parsimony 'tis
To store up treasure of regrets.

— Charles, Duke of Orléans

C'est une dangereuse épargne
D'amasser tresor de regrets.

More quotes by Charles, Duke of Orléans

Is she not lavishly endowed,
She whom I love so loyally?

The ware that pleaseth is as good as sold.

Though Fortune have fine eyes yet sees she nought.

Whether she dance, or sing, or smile,
Or whate'er else may do or be,
Give me a voice impartial, free
From favour or from flattery.

Sport that too long endures is nothing worth.
The pot goes once too often to the well.
