(Original engl.: "The most absolute monarchs have had to learn the moods, observe the traditions, and respect the prejudices of their subjects ; the most ardent reformers have had to learn that too far to outrun the more sluggish masses was to render themselves powerless. Revolution has always been followed by reaction, by a return to even less than the normal speed of political movement." - The State. Elements of Historical and Practical Politics. Boston 1893. p. 575 archive.org) (de) |
