Such, in effect, is the danger of making a violent revolution and a free constitution march side by side.

The one is only produced in tumultuous periods, and by passions and weapons, the other is only established by amicable arrangements between old interests and new.

(Laughter, murmurs, and 'that is the point.') We do not count voices, we do not discuss opinions, to make a revolution.

A revolution is a storm during which we must furl our sails, or we sink.

But after the tempest, those who have been beaten by it, as well as those who have not suffered, enjoy in common the serenity of the sky.
