Excerpt from Progress From Experience
Is there really any such thing as progress? And does that of the present time merely consist in follow ing the downward slope? There are those who con sider that the world was not intended to be very good, and that it is quite useless trying to make it better; but that a man has the chance of making his account with the world as it is on terms fairly satisfactory to himself; and so we are never without the company of the cheerful pessimist. We might have worse.
