Robespierre was passionate, first and foremost, about the French Republic. He was willing to do nearly anything to keep his country safe, prosperous, and governed by a representative system based on the concepts of liberty, equality, and fraternity. Beyond this, Robespierre was dedicated to reason and rationality--he was instrumental in forming a "religion of reason," the Cult of the Supreme Being, for the Republic--and to virtue (upright living) which he regarded as essential to a good government and a strong nation. The Terror, in which he figured to some extent and for which he is continually faulted, was for him a means of preserving the Republic and strengthening the influence of virtue. "If the spring of popular government in time of peace is virtue," he said, "the springs of popular government in revolution are at once virtue and terror: virtue, without which terror is fatal: terror, without which virtue is powerless."
He also liked Oranges, took great care of his wigs, and reputedly had a fondness for pigeons.
