"Кто берется за частные вопросы без предварительного разрешения общих, тот неминуемо будет на каждом шагу бессознательно для себя натыкаться на эти общие вопросы".
Фраза эта принадлежит В.И. Ленину и довольно часто цитируется в самых разных текстах. Я подумала, что переводить ее - это как заново открывать Америку. Наверняка она уже переведена. Однако поиск в Гугле выдал множество цитат и статей Ленина по-английски, но только не эту фразу.
Пожалуйста, помогите, господа, и заране благодарю!

... anybody who tackles partial problems ... [see below]
"They forgot that anybody who tackles partial problems without
having previously settled general problems, will inevitably
and at every step "come up against" those general problems
without himself realising it."

To be clear: that's not quite how I would have translated it, but it's what you asked for - a standard translation. The source is:
http://www.archive.org/stream/vilenincollected028410mbp/vile...
Which is Vol. 12 of a (rather poorly scanned) Progress Publishers edition (Moscow: 1962, printing of 1977) of the Collected Works of Lenin, covering the first half of 1907. The translator is GEORGE HANNA, editor JULIUS KATZER.

Comment: "Thank very much, Rachel! This is precisely what I was looking for. And yes, I agree that "partial problems" is a rather poor choice indeed, and might be the reason why I could not find the quote with google, as I tried googling "particular problems", or "specific problems", or "specific issues".
I also would like to give my thanks to Sukirat Anand and The Misha."
