Nothing Is New Except Arrangement.

Human Progress Having Reached A High Level Through Respect For The Liberty And Dignity Of Men, It Has Become Desirable To Re-affirm These Evident Truths

Nature Smiles At The Union Of Freedom And Equality In Our Utopias. For Freedom And Equality Are Sworn And Everlasting Enemies, And When One Prevails The Other Dies.

An Emperor Knows How To Govern When Poets Are Free To Make Verses, People To Act Plays, Historians To Tell The Truth, Ministers To Give Advice, The Poor To Grumble At Taxes, Students To Learn Lessons Aloud, Workmen To Praise Their Skill And Seek Work, People To Speak Of Anything, And Old Men To Find Fault With Everything.

All Deductions Having Been Made, Democracy Has Done Less Harm, And More Good, Than Any Other Form Of Government. It Gave To Human Existence A Zest And Camaraderie That Outweighed Its Pitfalls And Defects. It Gave To Thought And Science And Enterprise The Freedom Essential To Their Operation And Growth. It Broke Down The Walls Of Privilege And Class, And In Each Generation It Raised Up Ability From Every Rank And Place.

History Is Always Repeating Itself, But Each Time The Price Goes Up.
