Seite 2 - ... they might do if left entirely to themselves. There is no set purpose, no straining at a point. The observations are suggested by the passing scene — the gusts of passion come and go like sounds of music borne on the wind.
Seite 204 - The French revolutionists complained of every thing; they refused to reform any thing; and they left nothing, no nothing at all unchanged. The consequences are before us, - not in remote history; not in future prognostication; they are about us; they are upon us.
