Do you think you can be righteous and holy with impunity?

Can a faith that does nothing be called sincere?

Thank the Gods! My misery exceeds all my hopes!

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.

Great crimes come never singly; they are linked To sins that went before.

Me, rule? Me, place the State under my law, when my feeble reason no longer rules even myself!

The face of tyranny Is always mild at first.
