> Grandan civilizacion neniam venkatas de ekstere,
> gxis detruis sin de ene.

> - Will Durant

A great civilization is never conquered from without, until it destroys itself
from within.

(I think that's Durant's original English wording exactly, but just now I
backtranslated it from memory, using my own earlier Esperanto translation as a
guide. Sorry if I didn't get the original back exactly).
