  • Who serves his country well has no need of ancestors.
  • It is better to risk sparing a guilty person than to condemn an innocent one.
  • To hold a pen is to be at war.
  • It is one of the superstitions of the human mind to have imagined that virginity could be a virtue.
  • We all look for happiness, but without knowing where to find it: like drunkards who look for their house, knowing dimly that they have one.
  • It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong.
  • Opinions have caused more ills than the plague or earthquakes on this little globe of ours.
