More quotes by Bernard-Joseph Saurin

We add nothing to his fame, his adds to ours.

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

Blanche et Guiscard (1763)

How slowly the hours pass to the unhappy.

Nothing is wanting to his fame, he was wanting to our own.

Woe to the conquered is the law of the world!
