Some who a year ago displayed great public spirit came to feel, when in government, that they could not vindicate the supremacy of law without curtailing economic growth. Because the grind of government can obscure enduring principle, people inspired by the best motives now find themselves on the same side as their criminal adversaries.
另外一群人也被错觉所蒙蔽。有些一年前表现出可贵公众精神的人开始感到一旦进入政府，他们就无法在经济停滞的状态下维护法律的尊严，因为最不朽的原则也经不起政府的打磨。曾经为美好动机所鼓舞的人们现在发现自己站到了罪恶的对手一边。在我看来，他们已经失去了方向，走上了承认独裁权力至高无上的老路。
