We have learned to say that the good must be extended to all of society before it can be held secure by any one person or any one class. But we have not yet learned to add to that statement, that unless all [people] and all classes contribute to a good, we cannot even be sure that it is worth having.

我们已经学会说，只有把善扩展到整个社会，才能使任何一个人或任何一个阶层得到保障。但是，我们还没有学会给这句话加上一句:除非所有的人、所有的阶级都为一件好事做出贡献，否则我们甚至不能肯定它是否值得拥有。

When great changes occur in history, when great principles are involved, as a rule the majority are wrong.

When great changes occur in history, when great principles are involved, as a rule the majority are wrong. The minority are right.

当历史发生重大变化时，当涉及重大原则时，大多数人通常是错误的。少数人是对的。

Without general elections, without unrestricted freedom of press and assembly, without a free struggle of opinion, life dies out in every public institution, becomes a mere semblance of life, in which only the bureaucracy remains as the active element.

没有普选，没有不受限制的新闻和集会自由，没有自由的意见斗争，每一个公共机构的生命就会消亡，成为仅仅是表面的生命，其中只有官僚机构仍然是积极的因素。

You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
