About this Quote

This quote by Dalton Trumbo speaks to the relevance of count on in between the people as well as their public authorities. It suggests that when public officials fail to promote the trust fund of the people, they come to be the principal inner enemies of the state. This suggests that when public authorities act in a manner that is not in the most effective passion of the people, they are proactively working against the state. This might consist of corruption, misuse of public funds, or any kind of other type of dishonesty. Ultimately, Trumbo's quote acts as a pointer that public officials need to be held to a high requirement of trustworthiness in order to ensure the success of the state. Without count on, the state can not work effectively and also will be vulnerable to inner enemies.
