Grace is the beauty of form under the influence of freedom.

Man is not better treated by nature in his first start than her other works are; so long as he is unable to act for himself as an independent intelligence she acts for him. But the very fact that constitutes him a man is that he does not remain stationary, where nature has placed him, that he can pass with his reason, retracing the steps nature had made him anticipate, that he can convert the work of necessity into one of free solution, and elevate physical necessity into a moral law.

The voice of the majority is no proof of justice.

Man is created free, and is free, even though born in chains.

Freedom exists only with power.

Whatever is not forbidden is permitted.
