Cities and their population and wealth might be greatly increased. but a country can be full of big cities and be very unhappy. Europe. Japan. China. and India are full of teeming cities. and yet millions of their people are leaving for America. The presence of many big cities does not assure the preservation of things that good Americans love most. We might continue to multiply our cities and their population. and yet might create here the same unhappiness from which immigrants are trying to escape. Neither does wealth increase happiness. nor brains. nor does it enlarge the human soul. Certainly it does not increase purity. nor justice. nor the love of liberty.
