“It has always seemed to me that the social order was implicit in the very nature of things, and required nothing more from the human spirit than care in arranging the various elements; that a people could be governed without being made thralls or libertines or victims thereby; that man was born for peace and liberty, and became miserable and cruel only through the action of insidious and oppressive laws. And I believe therefore that if man be given laws which harmonize with the dictates of nature and of his heart he will cease to be unhappy and corrupt.” PeopleIfsMenBelieveHumansHeartMadeCareActionLawSpiritOrderGivenI BelieveSocialBornLibertyElementsVictimVariousCeaseUnhappyMiserableHuman SpiritImplicitSocial OrderInsidiousArrangingLibertine Author:Louis Antoine de Saint-Just
