We Have To Risk A

The Sad Duty Of Politics Is To Establish Justice In A Sinful World.

It Is My Strong Conviction That A Realist Conception Of Human Nature Should Be Made A Servant Of An Ethic Of Progressive Justice And Should Not Be Made Into A Bastion Of Conservatism, Particularly A Conservatism Which Defends Unjust Privileges.

Now When The Historic Religions Give Trivial Answers To These Very Tragic Questions Of Our Day, When An Evangelist Says, For Instance, We Mustn't Hope For A Summit Meeting, We Must Hope In Christ Without Spelling Out What This Could Mean In Our Particular Nuclear Age. This Is The Irrelevant Answer, When Another Evangelist Says If America Doesn't Stop Being Selfish, It Will Be Doomed. This Is Also A Childish Answer Because Nations Are Selfish And The Question About America Isn't Whether We Will Be Selfish Or Unselfish, But Will We Be Sufficiently Imaginative To Pass The Reciprocal Trade Acts.

Nothing That Is Worth Doing Can Be Achieved In A Lifetime; Therefore We Must Be Saved By Hope.

Man Is Always Worse Than Most People Suspect, But Also Generally Better Than Most People Dream.
