French tragic dramatist whose plays treat grand moral themes in elegant verse (1606-1684)

He who allows himself to be insulted, deserves to be.
Love is the extra effort we make in our dealings with those whom we do not like and once you understand that, you understand all. This idea that love overtakes you is nonsense. This is but a polite manifestation of sex. To love another you have to undertake some fragment of their destiny.
Love lives on hope, and dies when hope is dead
To win without risk is to triumph without glory.
When there is no peril in the fight there is no glory in the triumph.
When we conquer without danger our triumph is without glory.
