shadowsquotes
Thus our State, which is also yours, will be a reality, and not a dream only, and will be administered in a spirit unlike that of other States, in which men fight with one another about shadows only and are distracted in the struggle for power, which in their eyes is a great good.
Like plants, so men also grow, some in the light, others in the shadows. There are many who need the shadows and not the light.
