has been 200 years. These nations have progressed in this sequence:

from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; from abundance to
selfishness; from selfishness to complacency; from complacency to apathy;
from apathy to dependency; from dependency back again to bondage." -
Alexander Tyler, (in his 1770 book, Cycle of Democracy)

of another by the governed"
