"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a
permanent form of government. A democracy will continue to exist up until 
the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from 
the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for 
the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, 
with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose 
fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."
"The average age of the worlds greatest civilizations from the beginning 
of history, has been about 200 years. During those 200 years, these 
nations always progressed through the following sequence:
1. From bondage to spiritual faith;
2. From spiritual faith to great courage;
3. From courage to liberty;
4. From liberty to abundance;
5. From abundance to complacency;
6. From complacency to apathy;
7. From apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage "
