Nice Quotes

- The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. Bertrand Russel
- La continuación de la autoridad en un mismo individuo frecuentemente ha sido el término de los gobiernos democráticos. Las repetidas elecciones son esenciales en los sistemas populares, porque nada es tan peligroso como dejar permanecer largo tiempo en un mismo ciudadano el poder. El pueblo se acostumbra a obedecerle y él se acostumbra a mandarlo; de donde se origina la usurpación y la tiranía. Un justo celo es la garantía de la libertad republicana, y nuestros ciudadanos deben temer con sobrada justicia que el mismo magistrado, que los ha mandado mucho tiempo, los mande perpetuamente. Simon Bolivar.
- (The above in English, poorly translated by me) The continuation of the authority in the same individual has often marked the end of the democratic governments. The repeated elections are essential in popular systems, because nothing is as dangerous as maintaining the same citizen on the power. The people then gets used to obey him and he gets used to rule over them; this originates usurpation and tyranny. A fair concern is the guarantee of the republican freedom, and our citizens must be afraid, with undiscussed justice, that the same person who has ruled for a long time rules over them perpetually. Simon Bolivar.
