Alas, Babylon Quote

Just started reading ALAS, BABYLON by Pat Frank. I hit upon a quote I found most interesting. As I rarely can remember any intriguing quotes word for word when I want them, I always try to write them down:

"Nations are like people. When they grow old and rich and fat they get conservative. They exhaust their energy trying to keep things the way they are -- and that's against nature."
