Nature has cast but two men in the mould of statesmen,--myself and Mirabeau. After that she broke the mould.
To dare, and again dare, and forever dare!
Let us be terrible in order to prevent the people from being terrible themselves!
Boldness, and again boldness, and always boldness!
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.
Show my head to the people. It is worth seeing.
