Selected

The time does not pass faster than in former times, but we run by hastier it. (?)

I found this, but I cannot tell you for sure if it's the original quote...but maybe it can help.

Peer comment(s):

disagree	Colin Newberry : G.O. would never have written it with that grammar! I have many of his books but not on CD with a search routine. 5 hrs
