The part I remember best is the beginning.
Small crimes always precedes great ones.
Small crimes always precede great crimes. Whoever has been able to transgress the limits set by law may afterwards violate the most sacred rights; crime, like virtue, has its degrees, and never have we seen timid innocence pass suddenly to extreme licentiousness.
Do you think you can be righteous and holy with impunity?
If I could believe that this was said sincerely, I could put up with anything.
You who love wild passions, flee the holy austerity of my pleasures. All here breathes of God, peace and truth.
