Jeanne-Marie Roland

O Liberty! Liberty! how many crimes are committed in thy name!

It is for the wise people who delight in humanity, praise justice, despise their flatterers, and respect the truth.

A fondness for satire indicates a mind pleased with irritating others; for myself, I never could find amusement in killing flies.

The feeble tremble before opinion, the foolish defy it, the wise judge it, the skillful direct it.

People who know how to employ themselves, always find leisure moments, while those who do nothing are forever in a hurry.

The more I see of men, the more I admire dogs.
