One must never compromise with tyrants. One can only strike at kings through the head. Nothing can be expected from European kings except by force of arms. I vote for the death of the tyrant.

I had rather be guillotined than a guillotiner.

Let us be terrible in order to prevent the people from being terrible themselves!

In order to conquer, what we need is to dare, still to dare, and always to dare.

Audacity, more audacity, always audacity.

Show my head to the people. It is worth seeing.

Boldness, and again boldness, and always boldness!
