A mob screaming curses followed them right up to the scaffold. His face still swollen, Robespierre kept his eyes closed throughout the procession. He was the tenth called to the platform and ascended the steps of the scaffold unassisted.[451] When clearing Robespierre's neck, executioner Charles-Henri Sanson tore off the bandage that was holding his shattered jaw in place, causing him to produce an agonising scream until the fall of the blade silenced him.[494] Sanson's grandson wrote that while his grandfather did this carefully, Robespierre nevertheless roared like a tiger in response.[451] After he was beheaded, applause and joyous cries arose from the crowd and reportedly persisted for fifteen minutes.

That's not advice.

It's a damn good observation on the human condition. And it's applicable throughout the history man. A simple, basic truth.
