Righteousness Is Easy In Retrospect.

Anti-intellectualism Has Long Been The Anti-semitism Of The Businessman.

The Use Of History As Therapy Means The Corruption Of History As History.

Self-righteousness In Retrospect Is Easy--also Cheap.

Liberalism Regards All Absolutes With Profound Skepticism, Including Both Moral Imperatives And Final Solutions... Insistence Upon Any Particular Solution Is The Mark Of An Ideologue.

To Say That There Is A Case For Heroes Is Not To Say That There Is A Case For Hero Worship. The Surrender Of Decision, The Unquestioning Submission To Leadership, The Prostration Of The Average Man Before The Great Man -- These Are The Diseases Of Heroism, And They Are Fatal To Human Dignity. History Amply Shows That It Is Possible To Have Heroes Without Turning Them Into Gods. And History Shows, Too, That When A Society, In Flight From Hero Worship, Decides To Do Without Great Men At All, It Gets Into Troubles Of Its Own.
