I establish a republic of
women....
Indulge in the pleasure of vice and
assume the credit of virtue
King (gave) the fatal order to the
Swiss to cease firing
La Fayette to rescue the royal family
and convey them to Rouen
Leave me in peace; be assured that I
can put no heir in danger
Louis Philippe, the usurper of the
inheritance of her family
Mirabeau forgot that it was more easy
to do harm than good
Most intriguing little Carmelite in the
kingdom
My father fortunately found a library
which amused him
Never shall a drop of French blood be
shed by my order
No one is more dangerous than a man
clothed with recent authority
No accounting for the caprices of a
woman
No ears that will discover when she
(The Princess) is out of tune
None but little minds dreaded little
books
Observe the least pretension on account
of the rank or fortune
Of course I shall be either hissed or
applauded.
On domestic management depends the
preservation of their fortune
Prevent disorder from organising itself
Princes thus accustomed to be treated
as divinities
Princess at 12 years was not mistress
of the whole alphabet
Rabble, always ready to insult genius,
virtue, and misfortune
Saw no other advantage in it than that
of saving her own life
She often carried her economy to a
degree of parsimony
Shocking to find so little a man in the
son of the Marechal
Shun all kinds of confidence
Simplicity of the Queen's toilet began
to be strongly censured
So many crimes perpetrated under that
name (liberty)
Spirit of party can degrade the
character of a nation
Subjecting the vanquished to be tried
by the conquerors
Taken pains only to render himself
beloved by his pupil
Tastes may change
That air of truth which always carries
conviction
The author (Beaumarchais) was sent to
prison soon afterwards
The Jesuits were suppressed
The three ministers, more ambitious
than amorous
The charge of extravagance
The emigrant party have their intrigues
and schemes
The King delighted to manage the most
disgraceful points
The anti-Austrian party, discontented
and vindictive
There is not one real patriot among all
this infamous horde
They say you live very poorly here,
Moliere
Those muskets were immediately embarked
and sold to the Americans
Those who did it should not pretend to
wish to remedy it
To be formally mistress, a husband had
to be found
