Dignity Is A Matter Which

Fame Opportunely Despised Often Comes Back Redoubled.

The Name Of Freedom Regained Is Sweet To Hear.

That Sense – The Only True Patriotism – Comes Slowly And Springs From The Heart: It Is Founded Upon Respect For The Family And Love For The Soil. Premature ‘liberty’ Of This Kind Would Have Been A Disaster: We Should Have Been Torn To Pieces By Petty Squabbles Before We Had Ever Reached Political Maturity, Which, As Things Were, As Made Possible By The Long Quiet Years Under Monarchical Government; For It Was That Government Which, As It Were, Nursed Our Strength And Enabled Us Ultimately To Produce Sound Fruit From Liberty, As Only A Politically Adult Nation Can.

We Can Endure Neither Our Vices Nor Their Cure.

No Law Can Possibly Meet The Convenience Of Every One: We Must Be Satisfied If It Be Beneficial On The Whole And To The Majority.
