"In our timidity and our shoddy opportunism we are always stirred when a man appears on the horizon willing to stake his all on a conviction."

The feeling for what ought and ought not to be grows and dies like a tree, and no fertilizer of any kind will do much good. What the individual can do is give a fine example, and have the courage to firmly uphold ethical convictions in a society of cynics. I have for a long time tried to conduct myself this way, with varying success.
