Summary

This quote suggests that in order to maintain a balanced and thriving political system, there must be a presence of two contrasting parties: one focused on maintaining order and stability, while the other focuses on progress and reform. Both parties play a crucial role in ensuring the well-being of a nation. The party that upholds order and stability safeguards the existing system and prevents chaos, while the party advocating progress and reform pushes for necessary changes and improvements.
