Nations, like men, have their infancy.

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that nations, just like individuals, go through a period of formation and growth called "infancy". It suggests that nations, like human beings, undergo a process of development and maturation in their early stages. During this phase, nations establish their identity, gain independence, and lay the foundation for their future. Just as infants require nurturing and guidance to thrive, nations need stability and support from their leaders and societies to flourish. Ultimately, this quote emphasizes the importance of recognizing and nurturing the early stages of a nation's development for its successful progression.
