So The Story Of Man Runs In

Destroy It. There May Be A Redistribution Of The Land, But The Natural Inequality Of Men Soon Re-creates An Inequality Of Possessions And Privileges, And Raises To Power A New Minority With Essentially The Same Instincts As The Old.

A Great Civilization Is Not Conquered From Without, Until It Has Destroyed Itself From Within. The Essential Causes Of Rome's Decline Lay In Her People, Her Morals, Her Class Struggle, Her Failing Trade, Her Bureaucratic Despotism, Her Stifling Taxes, Her Consuming Wars.

Inquiry Is Fatal To Certainty.

Civilizations Come And Go; They Conquer The Earth And Crumble Into Dust; But Faith Survives Every Desolation.

Peace Is An Unstable Equilibrium, Which Can Be Preserved Only By Acknowledged Supremacy Or Equal Power.
