CONISTON

코니스턴

By Winston Churchill

윈스턴 처칠 저

"We have been compelled to see what was weak in democracy as well as what was strong.

"우리는 민주주의에서 강한 점뿐만 아니라 약한 점도 보도록 강요받아 왔습니다.

We have begun obscurely to recognize that things do not go of themselves, and that popular government is not in itself a panacea, is no better than any other form except as the virtue and wisdom of the people make it so, and that when men undertake to do their own kingship, they enter upon, the dangers and responsibilities as well as the privileges of the function.

우리는 일이 저절로 되지 않는다는 것을, 그리고 민중의 정부란 그 자체로 만병통치약이 아니며, 국민의 덕성과 지혜가 그것을 그렇게 만들어 주는 경우를 제외하면 다른 어떤 형태의 정부보다 나을 것이 없다는 것을, 또한 사람들이 스스로 통치권을 행사하고자 할 때 그들은 그 기능의 특권뿐만 아니라 위험과 책임도 떠맡게 된다는 것을 희미하게나마 인식하기 시작했습니다.

Above all, it looks as if we were on the way to be persuaded that no government can be carried on by declamation."

무엇보다도, 우리는 어떤 정부도 공허한 웅변만으로는 운영될 수 없다는 것을 납득해 가고 있는 것처럼 보입니다."

--JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL.

--제임스 러셀 로웰.
