Joseph Story Zitate

Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them.

Republiken werden durch die Tugend, den öffentlichen Geist und die Intelligenz der Bürger geschaffen. Sie fallen, wenn die Weisen aus den öffentlichen Räten verbannt werden, weil sie es wagen, ehrlich zu sein, und die Schwachen werden belohnt, weil sie den Menschen schmeicheln, um sie zu betrügen.

Virtue is its own reward, and brings with it the truest and highest pleasure; but if we cultivate it only for pleasure's sake, we are selfish, not religious, and will never gain the pleasure, because we can never have the virtue.
