Liberty Is The Right To Do What

When One Wants To Change Manners And Customs, One Should Not Do So By Changing The Laws.

In Vain Do We Seek Tranquility In The Desert; Temptations Are Always With Us; Our Passions, Represented By The Demons, Never Let Us Alone: Those Monsters Created By The Heart, Those Illusions Produced By The Mind, Those Vain Specters That Are Our Errors And Our Lies Always Appear Before Us To Seduce Us; They Attack Us Even In Our Fasting Or Our Mortifications, In Other Words, In Our Very Strength.

Law In General Is Human Reason, Inasmuch As It Governs All The Inhabitants Of The Earth: The Political And Civil Laws Of Each Nation Ought To Be Only The Particular Cases In Which Human Reason Is Applied.

A Nation May Lose Its Liberties In A Day And Not Miss Them In A Century.

Friendship Is A Contract In Which We Render Small Services In Expectation Of Big Ones.
