In every Revolution a dictator is needed to save the state by force, or censors to save it by virtue.

When a people, having become free, establish wise laws, their revolution is complete.

Those who make revolutions halfway have done nothing but dig their own graves.

Dare! — this word contains all the politics of our revolution.
