Yet we should expect them to have done so had they been able, for they
could have bequeathed no more valuable legacy to their countries, nor is there any quality
they would choose for themselves, and therefore for those nearest to them, to possess, in

considerably to political success; otherwise men would never have become statesmen merely
through practical association with politics; so it would appear that those who aspire to a
scientific knowledge of politics require practical experience as well as study.
