“Those who compare the age in which their lot has
fallen with a golden age which exists only in imagination, may talk of
degeneracy and decay; but no man who is correctly informed as to the past, will
be disposed to take a morose or desponding view of the present.”—British historian
and politician Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800-1859), The History of England, Volume I
(1849)
