"The good life of nations is possible only to the extent that the people who make them up lead a good life. However, revolutions provoke in people, in addition to the shortcomings above, the most unbearable trinity of sins, incompatible with the good life: pride, envy, malice. The condition of the people can be improved, on the contrary, only by the non-intervention of the people in the affairs of power.

The good life of nations is possible only to the extent that the people who make them up lead a good life. However, revolutions provoke in people, in addition to the shortcomings above, the most unbearable trinity of sins, incompatible with the good life: pride, envy, malice.

""Viața bună a popoarelor e posibilă numai în măsura în care oamenii care le alcătuiesc duc o viață bună. Revoluțiile provoacă însă în oameni, pe lângă neajunsurile de mai sus, cea mai nesuferită treime a păcatelor, incompatibilă cu viața bună: trufia, invidia, răutatea. Starea poporului poate fi îmbunătățită, dimpotriva, numai prin neintervenția poporului în treburile puterii."
