A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess of the public treasury. From that time on the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury, with the results that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship…. 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 great courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to selfishness; from selfishness to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependence; from dependency back again to bondage.”
Sir Alex Fraser Tytler I have been finding a lot of good qoutes lately that are prevalent to the present situations. I want to make you think don’t let the abundance that we have had all these years make you complacent. All the superficial goods that we have been convinced we need are short lived happiness until we want something else new. I urge you to think differently.
