When urbanity decays, civilization suffers and decays with it. — © James Norman Hall
When urbanity decays, civilization suffers and decays with it.
Every high civilization decays by forgetting obvious things.
Every civilization carries the seeds of its own destruction, and the same cycle shows in them all. The Republic is born, flourishes, decays into plutocracy, and is captured by the shoemaker whom the mercenaries and millionaires make into a king. The people invent their oppressors, and the oppressors serve the function for which they are invented.
The porcelain rose is not as pretty as the one that decays.
All perishes, all decays, all is born again.
Time is the speed at which the past decays.
We notice that the mind grows with the body, and with it decays.
A debt may get mouldy, but it never decays.
We plainly perceive that the mind strengthens and decays with the body.
Surely revival delays because prayer decays.
I shall be dumped where the weed decays, And the rest is rust and stardust
Well, the family always was bright, and brightness, as you know, decays brilliantly.
We think literature is immortal, but even that decays and ultimately turns to dust.
During this period, with a series of excellent students, we further studied hyperon decays.
As the gentleman decays, the lady survives as the strongest evidence of his former predominance.
Pity only on fresh objects stays, but with the tedious sight of woes decays.
If we see nature as pausing, immediately all mortifies and decays; but seen as progressing, she is beautiful.
