Produced too slowly ever to decay;
Of form and aspect too magnificent
To be destroyed.“

„Of all the systems of religion that ever were invented, there is none more derogatory to the Almighty, more unedifying to man, more repugnant to reason, and more contradictory in itself, than this thing called Christianity. Too absurd for belief, too impossible to convince, and too inconsistent for practice, it renders the heart torpid, or produces only atheists and fanatics.“
— Thomas Paine, kniha The Age of Reason
1790s, The Age of Reason, Part II (1795), Chapter III: Conclusion.
„I try, in my life, to follow my heart. I know what it feels like to do things that are soul-decaying. A large aspect of life in Hollywood, in a stereotypic way, I find unbelievably soul-decaying. And I choose, albeit frustratingly to other people in my life, not to expose myself too much to too much of that.“

„A state too expensive in itself, or by virtue of its dependencies, ultimately falls into decay“
— Simón Bolívar Venezuelan military and political leader, South American libertador 1783 - 1830
Context: A state too expensive in itself, or by virtue of its dependencies, ultimately falls into decay; its free government is transformed into a tyranny; it disregards the principles which it should preserve, and finally degenerates into despotism. The distinguishing characteristic of small republics is stability: the character of large republics is mutability.
