In a post over on Contentions, Peter Wehner quotes John Buchan as follows: “My fear was not barbarism, which is civilisation submerged or not yet born, but de-civilisation, which is civilisation gone rotten.” http://www.commentarymagazine.com/2011/08/10/civilization-barbarism-london/#more-763424
Never having heard of Buchan, I looked him up on Wikipedia and found this:
“It's a great life, if you don't weaken.”
“No great cause is ever lost or won; the battle must always be renewed, and the creed must always be restated.”
