The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been two
hundred years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From
bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to great courage; from
courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to
selfishness; from selfishness to complacency; from complacence to
apathy; from apathy to dependence; from dependency back again into
bondage. - Attributed to Alexander Tytler
