James Fitzjames Stephen Quotes

If I Am Asked, What Do You Propose To Substitute For Universal Suffrage? Practically, What Have You To Recommend? I Answer At Once, Nothing. The Whole Current Of Thought And Feeling, The Whole Stream Of Human Affairs, Is Setting With Irresistible Force In That Direction. The Old Ways Of Living, Many Of Which Were Just As Bad In Their Time As Any Of Our Devices Can Be In Ours, Are Breaking Down All Over Europe, And Are Floating This Way And That Like Haycocks In A Flood. Nor Do I See Why Any Wise Man Should Expend Much Thought Or Trouble On Trying To Save Their Wrecks. The Waters Are Out And No Human Force Can Turn Them Back, But I Do Not See Why As We Go With The Stream We Need Sing Hallelujah To The River God.
