"If we lose the virile, manly qualities, and sink into a nation of mere 
hucksters, putting gain over national honor, and subordinating everything to 
mere ease of life, then we shall indeed reach a condition worse than that of 
the ancient civilizations in the years of their decay."
- Theodore Roosevelt
