"It is a common delusion that you make things better by talking about them." - Dame Rose Macaulay
***
In a feel-good TED talk, Jane Goodall quotes Mahatma Gandhi as saying that:
"If you look back through human history, you see that every evil regime has been overcome by good."
This is one of those things that sounds very deep and profound but ultimately doesn't mean anything. This resembles (but is not quite the same as) what Daniel Dennett calls a "deepity" (about which more, perhaps, later)
Depending on how loosely you define your terms, you can also say (perhaps even more truly) that:
"If you look back through human history, you find that every good regime has been overcome by evil."
This is because nothing lasts forever, and all regimes - "good" OR "bad" - will eventually fall.
Addendum: Quote corrected from "you find" to "you see"
