"When this optimism is not qualified to accord with the real and complex facts of human nature and history, there is always a danger that sentimentality will give way to despair and that a too consistent optimism will alternate with a too consistent pessimism.”

“The consistent optimism of our liberal culture has prevented modern democratic societies both from gauging the perils of freedom accurately and from appreciating democracy fully as the only alternative to injustice and oppression.

"...a too consistent optimism in regard to man’s ability and inclination to grant justice to his fellows obscures the perils of chaos.... If these perils are not appreciated they may overtake a free society and invite the alternative evil of tyranny.

"The excessively optimistic estimates of human nature and of human history... are a source of peril to democratic society; for contemporary experience is refuting this optimism and there is danger that it will seem to refute the democratic ideal as well.
