    “Morals are in all countries the result of legislation and government; they are not African or Asian or European: they are good or bad.”

    “And, chiding me, said, ‘Hence, remove,
    Herrick, thou art too coarse to love.’”
    —Robert Herrick (1591–1674)

    “When I go into a museum and see the mummies wrapped in their linen bandages, I see that the lives of men began to need reform as long ago as when they walked the earth. I come out into the streets, and meet men who declare that the time is near at hand for the redemption of the race. But as men lived in Thebes, so do they live in Dunstable today.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
