The problem with the the "optomisim of the spirit" bit is that it too frequently blocks the mind bit and leads to denial. "That nice young Mr. Hitler would never do such a thing." You ever hear that?

Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
