"Todos los planes de gobierno que suponen una gran reforma en los modales de la humanidad son claramente imaginarios"

David Hume

Simplified Meaning:

Expecting a government to drastically change people's behavior is unrealistic. People have their own ways and habits that are hard to change, even with new rules. For example, a government might pass a law to stop littering, but this doesn't mean everyone will suddenly stop littering. Some people might continue their old habits, ignoring the new rules. So, instead of relying on the government to change how people act, it's better to make small, gradual changes within the community. This can be done through education and leading by example, which is often more effective in changing behavior over time.
