The politics of our society are a conversation in which past, present and future each has a voice; and though one or other of them may on occasion properly prevail none permanently dominates, and on this account we are free.
我们社会的政治是一场对话，在这场对话中，过去、现在和未来都有发言权;虽然有一种或另一种可能在某些情况下会正确地占上风，但没有一种会永远占据主导地位，因此我们是自由的。
