Truth of the Ancients

I read a quote just a few minutes ago, and was struck silly by the simple truth of it. These words were uttered around two millennia ago by a fellow named Tacitus...

Old things are always in good repute, present things in disfavor.

Just a little something to mull over.

Re: Truth of the Ancients

Portuguese word for it:
"Saudosismo" roughly translated to: "missing the things of the past" wich usually makes them better than they actually were.
