reform, n.All

A Reform is a correction of abuses while a revolution is a transfer of power.

A Reform is a work of time; a national taste, however wrong it may be, cannot be totally changed at once.

Reform is incredibly difficulty, for man is the sum of his ancestors. Thus, to reform him you must begin with a dead ape and work downward through a million graves. He is like the lower end of a suspended chain... you can sway him slightly to the right or the left, but remove your hand and he falls into line with the other links.

Reform is the entrance ramp to revolution.

Reform is a thing, in every instance, that was once a private opinion.

Reform is (in contrast to disciplinary society which is always about starting afresh), about a government grounded in the idea of never-ending perpetual training.

Reform is risky. Those who attempt to level never equalize.

Reform is deprecated whenever it is reform by violence, because violence does little to correct the evil. Men remain as they are. Wisdom has no need of violence.
