Quote by Herbert Agar
Civilization rests on a set of promises; if the promises are broke

Civilization rests on a set of promises; if the promises are broken too often, the civilization dies, no matter how rich it may be, or how mechanically clever. Hope and faith depend on the promises; if hope and faith go, everything goes. – Herbert Agar
