There are two kinds of depravity; one, when the people do not keep the laws; the other is when the laws corrupt the people: this is an incurable disease, because it lies in the medicine itself.
"Hungarian
"Kétfajta romlottság van; az egyik, amikor a nép nem tartja meg a törvényeket; a másik, amikor a törvények rontják meg a népet: ez gyógyíthatatlan baj, mert magában az orvosságban rejlik."
