TIMES 

THEY ARE A-CHANGIN

Quote for Today - April 26, 2013

"If we live good lives, the times are also good. As we are, such are the times."

Saint Augustine [354-430]

Comment: Next time someone says the time we are living in horrible times, try that quote.

Or quote the opening paragraph of Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens [1812-1870], "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way - in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."
