Quote by John Reed
In the relations of a weak Government and a rebellious people there comes a time when every act of the authorities exasperates the masses, and every refusal to act excites their contempt.
Summary
This quote suggests that when a weak government and an uprising population clash, there reaches a tipping point where every action taken by the authorities angers the people further, while every inaction serves to undermine their authority and fuel the people's disdain. It highlights the delicate balance between governing and maintaining public support, emphasizing the consequences of a government that fails to effectively address the grievances and aspirations of its people.
