James L. Petigru Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von James L. Petigru:

If one has not influence to stem the torrent of popular delusion he is reduced to the melancholy part of a spectator in the midst of the ruin.

Growing richer every day, for as rich and poor are relative terms, when the rich are growing poor, it is pretty much the same as if the poor were growing rich. Nobody is poor when the distinction between rich and poor is destroyed.

James L. Petigru

The pulse of the People is still so high as to call for more bleeding, before quinine can be administered with any hope of benefit.

James L. Petigru

If one has not influence to stem the torrent of popular delusion he is reduced to the melancholy part of a spectator in the midst of the ruin.
