No one in Germany laughs at vice, nor do they call it the fashion to corrupt and to be corrupted.
Seek to make a person blush for their guilt rather than shed their blood.
Adversity deprives us of our judgment.
Power won by crime no one ever yet turned to a good purpose.
Valor is of no service, chance rules all, and the bravest often fall by the hands of cowards.
If we must fall, we should boldly meet our fate.
