“We suffer today under the illusion that human cleverness can save us. A new ideology, a lot more new laws, more intellectual planning, and a change of the party in office – these are offered as remedies for our distresses.
Politicians are unwilling or afraid to admit that our decline is due to a loss of moral fibre. Yet there cannot be the slightest doubt that this is the case. No amount of intellectual cleverness can restore greatness to a nation which has lost its energy, its initiative, its honesty and, above all, its dedication to service…
Our problems, therefore, are how to secure the reform of moral standards and how to bring about devotion to service and sacrifice.”
