It is possible to imagine a society flushed with such a sens

Summary

This quote suggests the idea of a utopian society that is so confident in its power and stability that it can choose not to punish its wrongdoers. In this society, social order is maintained to such an extent that there is no need for punishment or retribution as a means of deterrence or justice. It reflects a vision where everyone abides by the rules and where the harmony and well-being of the society prevail over the need for punitive measures.

They have not allowed dignity to depress them into moroseness. Youthfulnesss of spirit is the twin brother of optimism, and optimism is the stuff of which American business success is fashioned.
