As soon as any man says of the affairs of State, What does it matter to me? that State may be given up for lost.

Previous Quote
It is to law alone that men owe justice and liberty. It is this salutary organ of the will of all which establishes in civil rights the natural equality between men. It is this celestial voice which dictates to each citizen the precepts of public reason, and teaches him to act according to the rules of his own judgment and not to behave inconsistently with himself. It is with this voice alone that political leaders should speak when they command.
- Jean Jacques Rousseau -
