Un service au-dessus de toute récompense
? force d'obliger tient presque lieu d'offense.
--
A service beyond all recompense Weighs so heavy that it almost gives offense.

La passion comblée a son innocence, presque aussi fragile que toute autre.
Marguerite Yourcenar
I'm going to naturally make plays. I'm not going to force anything. There's a fine line between just being a gunslinger and running the offense. I'd like to be 90% running offense, with that other 10% being my own personality.
Rex Grossman
And yet Catholicism does not abandon ethics. No! No modern religion can leave ethics on one side. But our religion — although its doctors may protest against this — is fundamentally and for the most part a compromise between eschatology and ethics; it is eschatology pressed into the service of ethics. What else but this is that atrocity of the eternal pains of hell, which agrees so ill with the Pauline apocatastasis? Let us bear in mind these words which the Theologica Germanica, the manual of mysticism that Luther read, puts into the mouth of God: "If I must recompense your evil, I must recompense it with good, for I am and have no other." And Christ said: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do," and there is no man who perhaps knows what he does.
Miguel de Unamuno
Il y a ? parier que toute idée publique, toute convention reçue, est une sottise, car elle a convenu au plus grand nombre.
Nicolas Chamfort
The definition of high crimes and misdemeanours: Among the questions considered nonjusticiable is the definition of an impeachable offense. Whatever Congress says is an impeachable offense is an impeachable offense.
