Part 3

A sad sort of consolation that is drawn from reprisals Act with our allies as if they were afterwards to be our enemies Age in which one breathes well only after resting All orders given by his Majesty were short, precise As was his habit, criticised more than he praised Borrowing, which uses up the resources of the future Death is only asleep without dreams Excessive desire to oblige Fear of being suspected of cowardice was beneath them For a retreating enemy it is necessary to make a bridge of gold Frederick the Great: "No man is a hero to his valet" Hair, arranged with charming negligence His Majesty did not converse: he spoke. Like all great amateurs was hard to please Little gifts preserve friendship Living ever in the future Make a bridge of gold, or oppose a wall of brass Most charming mistresses and the worst wives Necessity is ever ready with inventions No man is, a hero to his valet Paper money, which is the greatest enemy of social order Power of thus isolating one's self completely from all the world Rise and decline of stocks was with him the real thermometer Rubbings with eau de Cologne, his favorite remedy Self-appointed connoisseurs She feared to be distracted from her grief The more I concede the more they demand The friendship of a great man is a gift from the gods The pear was ripe; but who was to gather it? There are saber strokes enough for every one Trying to alleviate her sorrow by sharing it You have given me your long price, now give me your short one. You were made to give lessons, not to take them.
