We were like a mob in which every man forgets his own responsibility, The mob mind would have rushed us to our own ruin.

My speech called for individuals to stand up.
That set each individual thinking: "If I stand up, that crazy guy will smash me." Each man became responsible again.

The mob was gone, and all we had was individual men, each thinking for himself.

That thinking then went on and each man reached a verdict based on logic, sense and duty.
The meeting could no longer speak with one voice.

It couldn't talk at all.
