Morality is stronger than tyrants.

When a people, having become free, establish wise laws, their revolution is complete... Peace and prosperity, public virtue, victory, everything is in the vigor of the laws. Outside of the laws, everything is sterile and dead.

One cannot reign innocently: the insanity of doing so is evident. Every king is a rebel and a usurper.

If all people are free, all are equal. If they are equal, they are just.

It is impossible to reign innocently.

Morality is stronger than tyrants.

To dare: that is the whole secret of revolutions.
