Danh ngôn của Joseph de Maistre (Sứ mệnh: 5)

Every country has the government it deserves.
No man has ceased to believe in God before having decided that he should not exist; no book would produce atheism, and no book can restore faith.
Government is a true religion: it has its dogmas, its mysteries, its priests. To submit it to the individual discussion is to destroy it; it is given life only through the national mind, that is to say, by political faith, which is a creed.
