“Il n’est pas facile de changer son cœur, mais il est encore plus difficile de détourner le cours rapide et puissant des choses humaines ; c’est donc principalement sur nous que nous devons travailler, et la véritable grandeur se trouve dans ce travail. La pompe et les prospérités d’une fortune éclatante n’ont jamais élevé personne aux yeux de la vertu et de la vérité ; l’âme est grande par ses pensées et par ses propres sentiments, le reste lui est étranger ; cela seul est en son pouvoir. Mais lorsqu’il lui est refusé d’étendre au dehors son action, elle l’exerce en elle-même, d’une manière inconnue aux esprits faibles et légers, que l’action du corps seul occupe. Semblables à des somnambules qui parlent et qui marchent en dormant, ces derniers ne connaissent point cette suite impétueuse et féconde de pensées, qui forment un si vif sentiment dans le cœur des hommes profonds.”

“As I walked over the loose fragments of stone, which lay scattered and surveyed the sublimity and grandeur of the ruins, I recurred, by a natural association of ideas, to the times when these walls stood proudly in their original splendor, when the halls were the scenes of hospitality and festive magnificence, and when they resounded with the voices of those whom death had long since swept from earth. "Thus," said I, "shall the present generation - he who now sink in misery - and he who now swim in pleasure, alike pass away and be forgotten.”
