Quote
“How is it possible that any man should ever think of making it [politics] subservient to his own little passions and mean private interests?…is the end of politics a fortune, a family, a gilded coach, a train of horses, and a troop of livery servants, balls at Court, splendid dinners and suppers? Yet the
divine science of politics
is at length in Europe reduced to a mechanical system composed of these materials.”
(
John Adams
, Letter to James Warren
The American Enlightenment
, p. 189. June 17, 1782.)
