Permanent victory

[cosmolinguist]

I believe in an aristocracy of the sensitive, the considerate and the plucky. Its members are to be found in all nations and classes and all through the ages, and there is a secret understanding when they meet. They represent the true human tradition, the one permanent victory over cruelty and chaos.

– E. M. Forster

I hadn't come across it before. But soon I'll be saying I always liked it. :-)
