    Who so list believe;
    Trust therefore first, and after preve,
    As men wed ladies by license and leave,

On the one hand, there have started into life industrial and scientific forces which no epoch of former human history had ever suspected. On the other hand, there exist symptoms of decay, far surpassing the horrors recorded of the latter times of the Roman empire. In our days everything seems pregnant with its contrary.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    Time is a great legalizer, even in the field of morals.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
