Quote by Earl Browder

I knew I could not maintain that leadership in open struggle against Moscow influence. Only two Communist leaders in history ever succeeded in doing this - Tito and Mao Tse-tung.


I knew I could not maintain that leadership in open struggle

Summary

This quote highlights the realization that the speaker, likely a communist leader themselves, recognizes their inability to effectively resist the influence of Moscow (referring to the leadership of the Soviet Union) through open confrontation. They acknowledge that only two iconic communist leaders, Tito (Josip Broz Tito) and Mao Tse-tung, were successful in maintaining their leadership while resisting Moscow's control. This suggests that open defiance may not be the most prudent or effective approach in navigating the complex dynamics of communist power struggles and maintaining autonomy as a leader.

Our time was most delightfully spent, in mutual Protestation

Our time was most delightfully spent, in mutual Protestations of Freindship, and in vows of unalterable Love, in which we were secure from being interrupted, by intruding and disagreeable Visistors, as Augustus and Sophia had on their first Entrance in the Neighbourhood, taken due care to inform the surrounding Families, that as their happiness centered wholly in themselves, they wished for no other society.

But we never get back our youth The pulse of joy that beats

But we never get back our youth The pulse of joy that beats in us at twenty becomes sluggish. Our limbs fail, our senses rot. We degenerate into hideous puppets, haunted by the memory of the passions of which we were too much afraid, and the exquisite temptations that we had not the courage to yield to.
