In relations between the rich and the strong, between the rich and the poor, between the master and the servant, it's liberty that grinds down, and the law which liberates.
Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire

Happily, and thanks to God, there are orifices through which our inner life constantly escapes, and the soul, like the blood, hath its pores. The mouth is the chief and foremost of these channels which lead the soul out of its invisible sanctuary it is by speech that man communicates the secret converse which is his real life.
Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire
Image
Man forms himself in his own interior, and nowhere else.
