"If others hence will pretend to disturb all counsels, what is that to them who pretend not, but are in real danger--not they only so judging, but a great, though not the greatest, number of their chosen patriots, who might be more in weight than the others in number: there being in number little virtue, but by weight and measure wisdom working all things, and the dangers on either side they seriously thus weighed. . ."
John Milton
The Ready and Easy Way
1660
