Men use thought only to justify their wrong doings, and employ speech only to conceal their thoughts.
VoltaireMen must have somewhat altered the course of nature; for they were not born wolves, yet they have become wolves. God did not give them twenty-four-pounders or bayonets, yet they have made themselves bayonets and guns to destroy each other. In the same category I place not only bankruptcies, but the law which carries off the bankruptsโ effects, so as to defraud their creditors.
