Additional quotes by Prosper Jolyot de Crébillon

A la cour d’un tyran, injuste ou légitime,
Le plus léger soupçon tint toujours lieu de crime;
Et cest être proscrit que d’être soupçonné.

Ainsi que le heros brille par ses exploits,
La grandeur des bienfaits doit signaler les rois.

'Tis crime that must be ended, and not vengeance.
