From Gaius Cornelius Tacitus (ca. 56 – ca. 117,) a senator and historian of the Roman Empire. More evidence that there truly is nothing new under the sun. Hat tip to Mark Chandler, GC of Cisco, who used this quote in his luncheon speech to the Northwestern School of Law’s 34th Annual Securities Regulation Institute in January 2007, which I re-read this morning. As the WSJ law blog described it in a post titled The Last Vestige of the Medieval Guild System, [still] "a speech worth reading" and no less important today than when it was first delivered. The WSJ blog post links to the speech.
