No. 37 (19 March 1770)
“
The least considerable man among us has an interest equal to the proudest nobleman, in the laws and constitution of his country, and is equally called upon to make a generous contribution in support of them — whether it be the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, or the hand to execute.
— Junius
What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "The least considerable man among us has an interest equal to the proudest nobleman, in the laws and constitution of his country, and is equally called upon to make a generous contribution in support of them — whether it be the heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, or the hand to execute." in the context of "No. 37 (19 March 1770)" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
