| The lawgivers's great soul is the true miracle which must vindicate his mission. Any man can carve tablets of stone, or bribe an oracle, claim a secret intercourse with some divinity, train a bird to whisper in his ear, or discover some other vulgar means of imposing himself on the people. A man who can do such things may conceivaby bring together a company of fools, but he will never establish an empire, and his bizarre creation will perish with him.
