FRANCOIS AUGUSTE ALEXIS MIGNET

The French revolution was… to terminate the strife of kings among themselves, and to commence that between kings and people…. The princes of Europe, who had hitherto had no enemies but themselves, viewed it in the light of a common foe.

The day of reckoning came, and that day was the Terror. The heirs of those who toiled made their account with the heirs of those who played.
