The Man and the Nation! The course of life of a nation consists in the ceaseless working of the individual on the collective people, and the people on the individual. The greater the vigour, diversity and originality with which individuals develop their human power, the more capable they are of conducing to the benefit of the whole body and the more powerful the influence which the life of the nation exercises on the individual, the more secure is the basis for the free development of the man. The productive power of man expresses itself in endless directions but the perfection of all powers is the political development of the individual and of the nation through the State. The mind, the spirit, and the character are influenced and directed by the political life of the State and the share which the individual has in the State is to him the highest source of honour and manly happiness.
