| A weed is no more than a flower in disguise. Democracy is that form of society, no matter what its political classification, in which every man has a chance and knows that he has it. In the scale of the destinies, brawn will never weigh as much as brain. Let us be of good cheer, remembering that misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come. The foolish and the dead alone never change their opinion. |
