Many Politicians ... Are In The Habit Of Laying It Down As A Self-evident
Proposition, That No People Ought To Be Free Till They Are Fit To
Use Their Freedom.
Many politicians ... are in the habit of laying it down as a self-evident
proposition, that no people ought to be free till they are fit to
use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool who resolved
not to go into the water till he had learned to swim.
-- Thomas Babington Macaulay
