How many people today
can say this in all honesty?

Change...not alway for the better.
In the important matters we are good men. We honor our parents; we take care of our children, we are industrious and peaceable; we trade much; we are trusted for large and small sums; we pay our debts, and are honest, and of course must tell the truth.
-- Chinese response to government threats to ban them from California in 1852
