The Common Vice Of Democracy Is Disregard

The Idea That The Object Of Constitutions Is Not To Confirm The Predominance Of Any Interest, But To Prevent It; To Preserve With Equal Care The Independence Of Labour And The Security Of Property; To Make The Rich Safe Against Envy, And The Poor Against Oppression, Marks The Highest Level Attained By The Statesmanship Of Greece.

It Is They [men Of Science] Who Hold The Secret Of The Mysterious Property Of The Mind By Which Error Ministers To Truth, And Truth Slowly But Irrevocably Prevails.

Every Thing Secret Degenerates, Even The Administration Of Justice; Nothing Is Safe That Does Not Show How It Can Bear Discussion And Publicity.
