“It is better to risk sparing a guilty person than to condemn an innocent one.”
Il vaut mieux hasarder de sauver un coupable que de condamner un innocent.

Quotes from bookZadig
VoltaireOriginal title Zadig ou la Destinée (French)
Zadig ou la Destinée is a novella and work of philosophical fiction by the Enlightenment writer Voltaire. It tells the story of Zadig, a philosopher in ancient Babylonia. The author does not attempt any historical accuracy, and some of the problems Zadig faces are thinly disguised references to social and political problems of Voltaire's own day.
