[Footnote 1109: Gustave Flaubert. "Tout notaire a rêvé des
sultanes." (All barristers have dreams of being sultans!) (Madame
Bovary").--"Frédéric trouvait que le bonheur mérité par l'excellence de
son âme tardait à venir." (Frédéric found that the happiness he
deserved due to his brilliancy was a long time coming.) ("L'Education
sentimentale.)]
[Footnote 1110: Such has also been the effect of similar declarations
set forth in the Constitutions of the United Nations, the European
Community, as well as many individual nations. All that was required
for the international Communist movement was then to await the slow
promotion of the secret party members directed to seek a career inside
the various legal administrations for, one day, to see all superior
courts staffed by their men. (SR).]

[Footnote 1114: Mercure de France, see the numbers of Dec. 30, 1791, and
April 7, 1792. (Note the phrase, it is close to Marx statement in 1850
'that the class struggle necessarily leads to the dictatorship of the
proletariat.' SR.)]
[Footnote 1115: Fox, before deciding on any measure, consulted a Mr.
H.--, one of the most uninfluential, and even narrow-minded members
of the House of Commons. Some astonishment being expressed at this, he
replied that he regarded Mr. H.---as a perfect type of the faculties
and prejudices of a country gentleman, and he used him as a thermometer.
Napoleon likewise stated that before framing an important law, he
imagined to himself the impression it would make on the mind of a burly
peasant.]
[Footnote 1116: Just like the strong influence which the current
fashionable principles and buzz-words introduced by the media have over
today's audiences. (SR).]
[Footnote 1117: Alas! This phenomenon should be repeated with the
interminable speeches held by Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Castro, Mao and all
the other inheritors of the Jacobin creed. (SR).]

Americans: they have more completely escaped the influence of every sort
of prejudice, etc."]
