Hello there! Can you clarify exactly what you are seeking? Are you
looking for *any* quote that is similar in meaning/tone to Vaclav
Havel's quote? Or did you have a specific similar quote in mind that
you were trying to track down? Any additional information will help
us research this question! Thanks.

p.s. The full original quote is:
"Time and time again I have been persuaded that a huge potential of
goodwill is slumbering within our society. It's just that it's
incoherent, suppressed, confused, crippled and perplexed as though it
does
not know what to rely on, where to begin, where or how to find
meaningful outlets. (transcending self, comes to mind) In such a
state of affairs, politicians have a duty to awaken this slumbering
potential, to offer it direction and ease its passage, to encourage it
and give it room or simply hope."
