Pierre-Joseph Proudhon Quotes
We Are Told Of The Time When, With The Same Beliefs, With The Same Institutions, All The World Seemed Happy: Why Complain Of These Beliefs; Why Banish These Institutions? We Are Slow To Admit That That Happy Age Served The Precise Purpose Of Developing The Principle Of Evil Which Lay Dormant In Society; We Accuse Men And Gods, The Powers Of Earth And The Forces Of Nature. Instead Of Seeking The Cause Of The Evil In His Mind And Heart, Man Blames His Masters, His Rivals, His Neighbors, And Himself; Nations Arm Themselves, And Slay And Exterminate Each Other, Until Equilibrium Is Restored By The Vast Depopulation, And Peace Again Arises From The Ashes Of The Combatants. So Loath Is Humanity To Touch The Customs Of Its Ancestors, And To Change The Laws Framed By The Founders Of Communities, And Confirmed By The Faithful Observance Of The Ages.
