Governments, like clocks, go from the motion men give them,

Governments, like clocks, go from the motion men give them, and as governments are made and moved by men, so by them they are ruined too.

But if men be bad, let the government be never so good, they will endeavour to warp and spoil it to their turn.

A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
