People weighed down with troubles do not look back; they know only too well that misfortune stalks them.

Revolutions are not born of chance but of necessity.

The smaller it is the heart, more hatred houses.

That is to be two and to be but one. A man and a woman mingled into one angel. It is heaven.

The merciful precepts of Christ will at last suffuse the Code and it will glow with their radiance. Crime will be considered an illness with its own doctors to replace your judges and its hospitals to replace your prisons. Liberty shall be equated with health. Ointments and oil shall be applied to limbs that were once shackled and branded. Infirmities that once were scourged with anger shall now be bathed with love. The cross in place of the gallows: sublime and yet so simple.

Wisdom and eloquence are not always united.

All animals are to be found in men and each of theme exists in some man, sometimes several at the time.
