Text: “Government is not a machine, but a living thing. It falls, not under the theory of the universe, but under the theory of organic life. It is accountable to Darwin, not to Newton. It is modified by its environment, necessitated by its tasks, shaped to its functions by the sheer pressure of life. No living thing can have its organs offset against each other, as checks, and live."


Provenance: Woodrow Wilson, quoted in "the steady conservative" website. http://thesteadyconservative.com/wordpress/2010/07/23/woodrow-wilson-and-historicism/
