"Where the people fear the government you have tyranny. Where the government fears the people you have liberty." - John Basil Barnhill
“The secret of freedom lies in educating people, whereas the secret of tyranny is in keeping them ignorant.” ― Maximilien Robespierre
“To defend the oppressed against their oppressors, to plead the cause of the weak against the strong who exploit and crush them, this is the duty of all hearts that have not been spoiled by egoism and corruption… It is so sweet to devote oneself to one’s fellows that I do not know how there can be so many unfortunates still without support or defenders. As for me, my life’s task will be to help those who suffer and to pursue through my avenging speech those who take pleasure in the pain of others. How happy I will be if my feeble efforts are crowned with success and if, at the price of my devotion and sacrifices, my reputation is not tarnished by the crimes of the oppressors I will fight.” ― Maximilien de Robespierre
“A true revolutionary should be ready to perish in the process” ― Maximilien Robespierre
Unless you do everything for liberty, you have done nothing. There are no two ways of being free: one must be entirely free, or become a slave once more.” ― Maximilien Robespierre,
”Any law which violates the inalienable rights of man is essentially unjust and tyrannical; it is not a law at all. ― Maximilien de Robespierre
Citizens, did you want a revolution without a revolution? ― Maximilien de Robespierre
