If nations always moved from one set of furnished rooms to another -- and always into a better set -- things might be easier, but the trouble is that there is no one to prepare the new rooms. The future is worse than the ocean -- there is nothing there.

Source: From the Other Shore, ch. 3 (1849).
-- Alexander Herzen, (Apr 6 1812-1870), Russian author; He distrusted governments, was sceptical of western democratic forms, and had great faith in the power of peasants and other ordinary people to organise themselves.
