The belief, not only of the socialist but of those so-called liberals who are diligently preparing the way for them is that by due skill an ill working humanity may be framed into well-working initiations.

There is no political alchemy by which you can get golden conduct out of laden instincts.
Herbert Spencer

We like to talk in parables and in hints and in indirections — whether from diffidence or some other instinct.

That they were not swayed, as specially favoured individuals were, by personal interest, but rather by a sense of what best served the common good.

I did not think it was a mark of leadership to try to make the people do what one wanted them to do.
