Those feelings, so
happily implanted in your nature and your habits, Aristogeiton would change and
remove and overturn. What every other citizen does with as little noise as
possible, he performs, one might almost say, with a peal of bells hung about his
neck. Neither the president nor the crier nor the chairman nor the tribe on duty
can control him.
