Summary

This quote suggests that benefits or rewards should be given gradually instead of all at once. By gradually distributing benefits over time, they are enjoyed and appreciated more. The idea behind this is that when we receive something too quickly or easily, we may not fully value or savor it. By prolonging the process, we can create a sense of anticipation and make the benefits more meaningful and satisfying.

You must drop all your democracy. You must not believe in the people. One class is no better than another. It must be a case of Wisdom, or Truth. Let the working classes be working classes. That is the truth. There must be an aristocracy of people who have wisdom, and there must be a Ruler: a Kaiser: no Presidents and democracies.

The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.

Increasingly in recent times we have come first to identify the remedy that is most agreeable, most convenient, most in accord with major pecuniary or political interest, the one that reflects our available faculty for action; then we move from the remedy so available or desired back to a cause to which that remedy is relevant.
