To reform a world, to reform a nation, no wise man will undertake; and all but foolish men know, that the only solid, though a far slower reformation, is what each begins and perfects on himself.

Um eine Welt zu reformieren, eine Nation zu reformieren, wird sich kein weiser Mann verpflichten. und alle außer törichten Männer wissen, dass der einzige, obwohl eine weitaus langsamere Reform, das ist, was jeder an sich beginnt und perfektioniert.
