Where there is no law, there is no freedom.

• 

  No man’s knowledge here can go beyond his experience.

• 

  Out of constables we have made grandees, idiots have shared out the honours, thieves are making rich men for us, dark souls have called themselves patriots.

• 

  Everyone has the right to say what he thinks, but there is no law that forces anyone to listen.

• 

  Every usurer and scoundrel could buy himself, for a few pennies, the title of ‘great patriot of the people’.

• 

  There were many liberal laws, and no freedom at all.

• 

  War propaganda comes down, in the end, to substituting diabolical abstractions for human beings.
