“Let us therefore learn while there is yet time, let us learn to
do good. Let us raise our eyes to Heaven for the sake of our
honor, for the very love of virtue, or, to speak wisely, for the
love and praise of God Almighty, who is the infallible witness of
our deeds and the just judge of our faults. As for me, I truly
believe I am right, since there is nothing so contrary to a
generous and loving God as tyranny---I believe He has reserved,
in a separate spot in Hell, some very special punishment for
tyrants and their accomplices”

“Never mind the changes in society and in others—what has changed in you? Your heart, just like when you were twenty, still wants to beat wildly. But you’ve learned to take people as they come, whereas previously you might have been put off by their flaws, dismissing them summarily if they weren’t exactly what you wanted. You no longer demand perfection because you’ve learned that we’re all fallible.”
