I only see clearly what I remember.

In all the ills that befall us, we are more concerned by the intention than the result. A tile that falls off a roof may injure us more seriously, but it will not wound us so deeply as a stone thrown deliberately by a malevolent hand. The blow may miss, but the intention always strikes home.

Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains.

A paralyzed man who wants to walk OR an agile man who does not want to walk will both remain neutral in nature.

Our affections as well as our bodies are in perpetual flux.

Falsehood has an infinity of combinations, but truth has only one mode of being.

It is to law alone that men owe justice and liberty. It is this salutary organ, of the will of all which establishes in civil rights the natural equality between men. It is this celestial voice which dictates to each citizen the precepts of public reason, and teaches him to act according to the rules of his own judgment and not to behave inconsistently with himself. It is with this voice alone that political leaders should speak when. they command.
