A sobering thought

Messieurs, il y a trois choses qui sont à Dieu et qui n’appartiennent pas à l’homme, l’irrévocable, l’irréparable et l’indissoluble. Malheur à l’homme s’il les introduit dans les lois !

Three things belong to God and do not belong to men: the irrevocable, the irreparable and the indissoluble. Woe to men if they introduce it in their laws!

Victor Hugo, National Constituant Assembly of the French Republic, 15th September 1848.
