A woman was sat next to US President Calvin Coolidge at a dinner and said to him, "I made a bet today that I could get more than two words out of you." He replied, "You lose." Upon learning that Coolidge had died, Dorothy Parker reportedly remarked, "How can they tell?” (Oh for such a President today.) We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. [Orwell]

It's my belief that history is a wheel. 'Inconstancy is my very essence,' says the wheel. Rise up on my spokes if you like but don't complain when you're cast back down into the depths. Good time pass away, but then so do the bad. Mutability is our tragedy, but it's also our hope. The worst of times, like the best, are always passing away.
