Summary

This quote emphasizes the distinction between reform and revolution. It suggests that a reform entails making necessary changes to correct existing abuses or issues within a system, while a revolution involves a major shift in power from one group or regime to another.

The quote highlights the different approaches and objectives of these two methods of change.
