Thou wilt show my head to the people, it is worth seeing.
Source: Said as he mounted the scaffold, 5 Apr 1794; in French Revolution, by Carlyle, bk. VI, ch. 2.
To conquer [our enemies] we must dare, and dare again, and dare for ever; and thus will France be saved.
Source: Speech, Paris, 2 September 1792.

The tocsin you hear today is not an alarm but an alert: it sounds the charge against our enemies.
