Republics are created by the virtue public spirit and intelligence of the citizens. They fall when the wise are banished from the public councils because they dare to be honest and the profligate are rewarded because they flatter the people in order to betray them.
Nothing is as real as a dream. The world can change around you but your dream will not. Responsibilities need not erase it. Duties need not obscure it. Because the dream is within you no one can take it away.
