The Crime And Not The Scaffold Makes

He Who Allows Himself To Be Insulted Deserves To Be.

Force Is Legitimate Where Gentleness Avails Not.

Danger Breeds Best On Too Much Confidence.

Ambition Becomes Displeasing When It Is Once Satiated; There Is A Reaction; And As Our Spirit, Till Our Last Sigh, Is Always Aiming Toward Some Object, It Falls Back On Itself, Having Nothing Else On Which To Rest; And Having Reached The Summit, It Longs To Descend.

By Speaking Of Our Misfortunes We Often Relieve Them. [fr., A Raconter Ses Maux Souvent On Les Soulage.]
