bold but indulgent class warrior

26 October 1759 – 5 April 1794

" Ah, better be a poor fisherman than meddle with the government of men!"

 "No one has enough money to buy a man like me."
 "This Committee is precisely what we want, a hand to grasp the weapon of the revolutionary tribunal"
"The kings of Europe would dare challenge us? We throw them the head of a king!"


"Committee of Clemency "

corrupt
indulgent and dangerous

much to admire very much
