He who does not prevent a crime when he can, encourages it.

He who is brave is free.

Successful crime is dignified with the name of virtue; the good become the slaves of the impious; might makes right; fear silences the power of the law. [Lat., Prosperum ac felix scelus Virtus vocatur; sontibus patent boni; Jus est in armis, opprimit leges timor.]

Crime when it succeeds is called virtue.

Be wary of the man who urges an action in which he himself incurs no risk.

He who has great power should use it lightly.
