I Believed The People Had A True Instinct In Most Matters Of Government When Left Alone. That They Were Not Swayed, As Specially Favoured Individuals Were, By Personal Interest, But Rather By A Sense Of What Best Served The Common Good. That They Recognized The Truth When It Was Put Before Them, And That A Leader Can Guide So Long As He Kept To The Right Lines. I Did Not Think It Was A Mark Of Leadership To Try To Make The People Do What One Wanted Them To Do.
