No one has leave to sin.

Our minds possess by nature an insatiable desire to know the truth.

No one has lived a short life who has performed its duties with unblemished character.

Crimes are not to be measured by the issue of events, but by the bad intentions of men.

Never was a government that was not composed of liars, malefactors and thieves.

To wonder at nothing when it happens, to consider nothing impossible before it has come to pass.

History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time; it illumines reality, vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily life and brings us tidings of antiquities.
