• The why is plain as way to parish church:
  He that a fool doth very wisely hit
  Doth very foolishly, although he smart,

  Even by the squand'ring glances of the fool.

• The man of system, on the contrary, is apt to be very wise in his own conceit; and is often so enamoured with the supposed beauty of his own ideal plan of government, that he cannot suffer the smallest deviation from any part of it...

He does not consider that...in the great chess-board of human society, every single piece has a principle of motion of its own, altogether different from that which the legislature might choose to impress upon it.

  Adam Smith
