What Stresemann said of the Germans is true of the frustrated in general: '[They] pray not only for
[their] daily bread, but also for [their] daily illusion'. The rule seems to be that those who find
no difficulty in deceiving themselves are easily deceived by others. They are easily persuaded and led.
