Quote #9 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Masters and Society
“If Cromwell said, "That a man never mounts higher, than when he knows not whither he is going;" it may with more reason be affirmed of communities, that they admit of the greatest revolutions where no change is intended, and that the most refined politicians do not always know whither they are leading the state by their projects.”
