This required abandoning the idea that there is a universal quantity called time that all clocks measure. Instead, everyone would have his own personal time. The clocks of two people would agree if they were at rest with respect to each other but not if they were moving.

Governments, like clocks, go from the motion men give them, and as governments are made and moved by men, so by them they are ruined too.

But, if men be bad, let the government be ever so good, they will endeavor to warp and spoil it to their turn.
