Quote by Cornelius Nepos

No government is safe unless fortified by goodwill.

No government is safe unless fortified by goodwill.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of goodwill in safeguarding a government's stability and security. It suggests that a government cannot solely rely on laws, regulations, or military forces to maintain its power and protect its people. Rather, it depends on the support and trust of its citizens, foreign allies, and international community. Genuine goodwill implies a government's strong integrity, fairness, and commitment towards serving its people, which can lead to cooperation, peace, and long-term stability. Without such goodwill, a government may face challenges and vulnerabilities that can jeopardize its authority and effectiveness.

That which is before the mind is the present. And that which is going to be before the mind is the future. Past is that which is no longer before you. Future is that which is not yet before you. And present is that which is before you and is slipping out of your sight. Soon it will be past....
