Its failure to do so results in its sinking to that level of locution at which society falls easy prey to a demagogue or a tyrant. This is society's own equivalent of oblivion.»

demagogue, demagogues, oblivion, on the other hand, options, sinks, Verses, well-written

We are limited but we can push back the borders of our limitations.»
