The end of Politics of obedience

I wanted to post this at the end of the last post, but decided to make it its own.

Let us therefore learn while there is yet time, let us learn
to do good. Let us raise our eyes to Heaven for the sake of
our honor, for the very love of virtue, or, to speak wisely, for
the love and praise of God Almighty, who is the infallible witness
of our deeds and the just judge of our faults. As for me,
I truly believe I am right, since there is nothing so contrary to
a generous and loving God as tyranny—I believe He has
reserved, in a separate spot in Hell, some very special punishment
for tyrants and their accomplices.
