About this Quote

This quote by William Hazlitt speaks with the concept of a lack of chance and access to resources in the nation. He is suggesting that even if there are advantages to be had in the country, they are not available to everyone. This might be interpreted as a commentary on the unequal circulation of resources and the lack of access to resources for those living in backwoods. It could likewise be translated as a criticism of the government or other effective entities that are avoiding individuals from accessing the resources they require. Hazlitt's quote talks to the idea of power and privilege, and how those in power can limit access to resources for those who are not as privileged. It is a pointer that even if there are good ideas to be had, they might not be available to everyone.
