"In this country we find it pays..." - Quote by Voltaire

“All the known world, excepting only savage nations, is governed by books.”

“Will is wish, and liberty is power.”

“I swear that, not being able to be yours, I will belong to no one.”

“The multitude which does not reduce itself to unity is confusion.”

“If princes and kings were not exalted they might be overthrown.”

“An executive should be a realist; and no one is less realistic than the cynic.”

“Speaking generally, punishment hardens and numbs, it produces concentration, it sharpens the consciousness of alienation, it strengthens the power of resistance.”

“Our crime against criminals lies in the fact that we treat them like rascals.”

“The punishment of criminals should be of use; when a man is hanged he is good for nothing.”
