Hold High The Brow Serene, O Youth,

Your Enemies Hate You More Than They Hate Your Ideas. Should You Want A Project To Be Undone Propose It. Even If It Were As Useful As A Bishop's Mire It Would Be Rejected. Once You Are Defeated Let The Humblest-looking Among You Sponsor It And Your Enemies To Humble You Will Approve It.

I Do Not Write For This Generation. I Am Writing For Other Ages. If This Could Read Me, They Would Burn My Books, The Work Of My Whole Life. On The Other Hand, The Generation Which Interprets These Writings Will Be An Educated Generation; They Will Understand Me And Say: Not All Were Asleep In The Nighttime Of Our Grandparents.

I Can Concede That The Government Has No Knowledge Of The People, But I Believe The People Know Less Of The Government. There Are Useless Officials, Evil, If You Like, But There Are Also Good Ones, And These Are Not Able To Accomplish Anything Because They Encounter An Inert Mass, The Population That Takes Little Part In Matters That Concern Them.
