The only thing that may be wanting to the Revolution is the boldness of initiative. With our minds already narrowed in our youth, enslaved by the past in our mature age and till the grave, we hardly dare to think.

It is not food that will fail, if boldness of thought and initiative are not wanting to the revolution.
