The Form Of Government And The Condition Of Society Must Always Correspond. Social Equality Is Therefore A Postulate Of Pure Democracy.

The Fate Of Every Democracy, Of Every Government Based On The Sovereignty Of The People, Depends On The Choices It Makes Between These Opposite Principles, Absolute Power On The One Hand, And On The Other The Restraints Of Legality And The Authority Of Tradition.

Neither An Enlightened Philosophy, Nor All The Political Wisdom Of Rome, Nor Even The Faith And Virtue Of The Christians Availed Against The Incorrigible Tradition Of Antiquity. Something Was Wanted, Beyond All The Gifts Of Reflection And Experience - A Faculty Of Self Government And Self Control, Developed Like Its Language In The Fibre Of A Nation, And Growing With Its Growth.

Live Both In The Future And The Past. Who Does Not Live In The Past Does Not Live In The Future.

Judge Talent At Its Best And Character At Its Worst.
