History Seldom Destroys That Which Does Not

I Have Tried To Be Impartial, Though I Know That A Man's Past Always Colors His Views, And That Nothing Else Is So Irritating As Impartiality.

It Is True That Even Across The Himalayan Barrier India Has Sent To The West, Such Gifts As Grammar And Logic, Philosophy And Fables, Hypnotism And Chess, And Above All Numerals And The Decimal System.

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.

For You Will Sorely Miss Civilization If It Is Sacrificed In The Turbulence Of Change.

As Long As There Is Poverty There Will Be Gods.
