"A Russian should rejoice if Poland, the Baltic Provinces,
Finland, Armenia, should be separated, freed from Russia; so with
an Englishman in regard to Ireland, India and other possessions;
and each should help to do this, because the greater the state,

sum of suffering upon which its power is founded. Therefore, if we
really wish to be what we profess to be, we must not only cease our

gone, one generation vanishing into another, gone as utterly
as we ourselves shall shortly be gone, like ghosts at cockcrow."
