The cure-alls of the present day are infinitely various and infinitely obliging. applied psychology, autosuggestion, and royal roads to learning or to wealth are urged upon us by kindly, if not altogether disinterested, reformers. simple and easy systems for the dissolution of discord and strife; simple and easy systems for the development of personality and power. booklets of counsel on 'how to get what we want,' which is impossible; booklets on 'visualization,' warranted to make us want what we get, which is ignoble.

More From Agnes Repplier

I wish to preach not the doctrine of ignoble ease but the doctrine of the strenuous life; the life of toil and effort; of labour and strife; to preach that highest form of success which comes not to the man who desires mere easy peace but to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship, or from bitter toil, and who out of these wins the splendid ultimate triumph. a life of ignoble ease, a life of that peace which springs merely from lack either of desire or of power to strive after great things, is as little worthy of a nation as of an individual.

Will this massive outcry [about pollution] continue long enough to have effective results? will federal and state laws be enacted with effective enforcement clauses? will people be concerned long enough to pay the bill through higher prices? will towns tole lost jobs when it proves too costly to clean obsolete plants?... i think so, but it sure won't be as easy as the present outcry and political oratory suggest. the answers to preserving a livable environment are not all simple, and some of the nuts now pushing simplistic cure-alls won't help bring about any lasting solutions.

And what physicians say about disease is applicable here: that at the beginning a disease is easy to cure but difficult to diagnose; but as time passes, not having been recognized or treated at the outset, it becomes easy to diagnose but difficult to cure. the same thing occurs in affairs of state; for by recognizing from afar the diseases that are spreading in the state (which is a gift given only to the prudent ruler), they can be cured quickly; but when, not having been recognized, they are not recognized and are left to grow to the extent that everyone recognizes them, there is no longer any cure.

Within every patient there resides a doctor, and we as physicians are at our best when we we put our patients in touch with the doctor inside themselves.
