| Success consecrates the most offensive crimes. |
| That is never too often repeated, which is never sufficiently learned. |
| That moderation which nature prescribes, which limits our desires by resources restricted to our needs, has abandoned the field; it has now come to this - that to want only what is enough is a sign both of boorishness and of utter destitution. |
| The first and greatest punishment of the sinner is the conscience of sin. |
