💬 Some GK Chesterton for today:
“This is the first principle of democracy: that the essential things in men are the things they hold in common, not the things they hold separately. The second principle is this: that the political instinct or desire is one of these things which they hold in common… In short, the democratic faith is this: that the most terribly important things must be left to ordinary men themselves…it is an attempt to get at the opinion of those who would be too modest to offer it. It is a mystical adventure; it is specially trusting those who do not trust themselves.”
