• A giant as we hoped, in truth, a dwarf; A barrel of slop that shines on Lethe's wharf', Which at first seemed a vessel with sweet wine For thirsty lips. So down the swift decline You went through sloven spirit, craven heart And cynic indolence. And here the art Of molding clay has caught you for the nonce And made your shame our shame ~ Your head in bronze!

• As a kid growing up in the 1950s I became acutely aware of the changes taking place in American culture and I must say I didn't much like it. I witnessed the debasement of architecture, and I could see a decline in the quality of things like comic books and toys, things made for kids. Old things seemed to have more life, more substance, more humanity in them.

• If martyrdom is now on the decline, it is not because martyrs are less zealous, but because martyr-mongers are more wise. The light of intellect has put out the fire of persecution, as other fires are observed to smoulder before the light of the same.

• We’ve never had a decline in house prices on a nationwide basis. So, what I think what is more likely is that house prices will slow, maybe stabilize, might slow consumption spending a bit. I don’t think it’s going to drive the economy too far from its full employment path, though.

• Todas las grandes industrias fueron en su día industrias en crecimiento. Pero algunas de las que ahora se encuentran en una ola de entusiasmo por el crecimiento están muy a la sombra del declive. Otras que se consideran industrias de crecimiento experimentado en realidad han dejado de crecer. En todos los casos, la razón por la que el crecimiento se ve amenazado, ralentizado o detenido no es que el mercado esté saturado. Es porque ha habido un fallo de gestión.

• El trabajo es el verdadero elixir de la vida. El hombre más ocupado es el más feliz. La excelencia en cualquier arte o profesión sólo se alcanza mediante el trabajo duro y persistente. Nunca creas que eres perfecto. Cuando un hombre imagina, incluso después de años de esfuerzo, que ha alcanzado la perfección, comienza su declive.

  Theodore Martin

• The Fed was largely responsible for converting what might have been a garden-variety recession, although perhaps a fairly severe one, into a major catastrophe. Instead of using its powers to offset the depression, it presided over a decline in the quantity of money by one-third from 1929 to 1933 ... Far from the depression being a failure of the free-enterprise system, it was a tragic failure of government.

  Milton Friedman

• The press heralded this as a major accomplishment. The rush from the press as soon as it was announced suggested a high level of coordination. Like lemmings in a staged dive off a cliff, 'historic' became the media's rallying cry. There is nothing historic about the deal. In fact, news reports from November 2012 noted that China expected, in 2012, that its carbon emissions would begin to decline after 2030 because of factory upgrades, efficiencies, etc.
