Some Smaller Crimes Always Precede The Great

A Tragedy Need Not Have Blood And Death; It's Enough That It All Be Filled With That Majestic Sadness That Is The Pleasure Of Tragedy.

Vice, Like Virtue, Grows In Small Steps, And No True Innocence Can Ever Fall At Once To Deepest Guilt.

Les Te Moins Sont Fort Chers, Et N'en A Pas Qui Veut. Witnesses Are Expensive And Not Everyone Can Afford Them.

The Joys Of The Evil Flow Away Like A Torrent.

Small Crimes Always Precede Great Crimes. Whoever Has Been Able To Transgress The Limits Set By Law May Afterwards Violate The Most Sacred Rights; Crime, Like Virtue, Has Its Degrees, And Never Have We Seen Timid Innocence Pass Suddenly To Extreme Licentiousness.
