Name the author of the following paragraph.
"Both individual and state must judge political action by
universal moral principles, such as that of liberty. Yet while the individual has
a moral right to sacrifice himself in defense of such a moral principle, the state
has no right to let its moral disapprobation of the infringement of liberty get in
the way of successful political action, itself inspired by the moral principle of
national survival. There can be no political morality without prudence; that is,
without consideration of the political consequences of seemingly moral action.":
