Quote #2 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Masters and Laws
“Whoever reads, with a philosophic eye, the history of nations, and their laws, will generally find, that the ideas of virtue and vise, of a good or bad citizen, change with the revolution of ages, not in proportion to the alteration of circumstances, and consequently conformable to the common good, but in proportion to the passions and errors by which the different lawgivers were successively influenced.”
