A Bureaucracy Is Sure To Think That Its Duty Is To Augment Official Power, Official Business, Or Official Members, Rather Than To Leave Free The Energies Of Mankind; It Overdoes The Quantity Of Government, As Well As Impairs Its Quality. The Truth Is, That A Skilled Bureaucracy Is, Though It Boasts Of An Appearance Of Science, Quite Inconsistent With The True Principles Of The Art Of Business.

The Truth Is, That A Skilled Bureaucracy Is, Though It Boasts Of An Appearance Of Science, Quite Inconsistent With The True Principles Of The Art Of Business.
