I haven't found an accessible online electronic facsimile of the first
edition (1854).

On GooglePrint there is

Lévi, Éliphas (1861). Dogme et rituel de la haute magie [deuxieme
édition très augmentée]. Tome premier: Dogme. Paris: Germer Bailliére
[http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC07818547]

and in Gallica there is instead:

Lévy, Eliphas (1930). Dogme et rituel de la haute magie [nouvelle
édition]. Tome premier: Dogme. Paris : Chacornac frères
[http://visualiseur.bnf.fr/Visualiseur?O=NUMM-205564&M=noticehttp://visualiseur.bnf.fr/Visualiseur?O=NUMM-205564&M=notice
(note a)]

The paragraph could be found on page 109 in the both editions.

From the 1861 edition
[http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC07818547&pg=RA1-PA109]:

***
Pour parvenir au _sanctum regnum_, c'est-à-dire
à la science et à la puissance des mages, quatre
choses sont indispensables : une intelligence éclai-
rée par l'étude, une audace que rien n'arrête, une
volonté que rien ne brise et une discrétion que
rien ne puisse corrompre ou enivrer.
   SAVOIR, OSER, VOULOIR, SE TAIRE, voilà les quatre
verbes du mage qui sont écrits dans les quatre
formes symboliques du sphinx. Ces quatre verbes
peuvent se combiner ensemble de quatre manières
et s'expliquent quatre fois les uns par les autres (1).

[...]

(1) Voir le jeu du Taro.
***

Best regards,
Roberto
