Frederic Bastiat Quotes
I Conclude By Applying To Political Economy What Chateaubriand Says Of History: "There Are," He Says, Two Consequences In History; An Immediate One, Which Is Instantly Recognized, And One In The Distance, Which Is Not At First Perceived. These Consequences Often Contradict Each Other; The Former Are The Results Of Our Own Limited Wisdom, The Latter, Those Of That Wisdom Which Endures. The Providential Event Appears After The Human Event. God Rises Up Behind Men. Deny, If You Will, The Supreme Counsel; Disown Its Action; Dispute About Words; Designate, By The Term, Force Of Circumstances, Or Reason, What The Vulgar Call Providence; But Look To The End Of An Accomplished Fact, And You Will See That It Has Always Produced The Contrary Of What Was Expected From It, If It Was Not Established At First Upon Morality And Justice.3
