Our national problems usually do not cause nearly as much harm as the solutions.
I would rather lose in a cause that will some day win, than win in a cause that will some day lose.
To find the cause of our ills in something outside ourselves, something specific that can be spotted and eliminated, is a diagnosis that cannot fail to appeal.
