When every hope is gone, 'when helpers fail and comforts flee,' I find that help arrives somehow, from I know not where. Supplication, worship, prayer are no superstition; they are acts more real than the acts of eating, drinking, sitting or walking.

Corruption and hypocrisy ought not to be inevitable products of democracy, as they undoubtedly are today.
