Sivu 145 - I have but one request to ask at my departure from this world — it is the charity of its silence...
Sivu 145 - If the spirits of the illustrious dead participate in the concerns and cares of those who are dear to them in this transitory life — O ever dear and venerated shade of my departed father, look down with scrutiny upon the conduct of your suffering son ; and see if I have even for a moment deviated from those principles of morality and patriotism which it was your care to instil into my youthful mind ; and for which I am now to offer up my life.

Love is a noble and generous passion; it can be founded only on a pure and ardent friendship, on an exalted respect — on an implicit confidence in its object.
Sivu 141 - You, my lord, are a judge. I am the supposed culprit I am a man, — you are a man also.
Sivu 140 - I have always understood it to be the duty of a judge, when a prisoner has been convicted, to pronounce the sentence of the law. I have also understood that judges sometimes think it their duty to hear with patience and to speak with humanity...
Sivu 143 - Were the French to come as invaders or enemies, uninvited by the wishes of the people, I should oppose them to the utmost of my strength. Yes ! my countrymen, I should advise you to meet them upon the beach with a sword in one hand and a torch in the other.
