A quotation from Nicolas Chamfort
Weak men are the light troops in the army of the wicked. They do more harm than the main force; they overrun and and ravage the country.
[Les gens faibles sont les troupes légères de l’armée des méchans. Ils font plus de mal que l’armée même; ils infestent et ils ravagent.]Nicolas Chamfort (1741-1794) French writer, epigrammist (b. Nicolas-Sébastien Roch)
