"Space will be colonised - although possibly not by us [Americans]. If we lose our nerve, there are plenty of other people on this planet. The construction crews may speak Chinese or Russian - Swahili or Portuguese. It does not take "good old American know-how" to build a city in space. The Laws of Physics work just as well for others as they do for us."

In the beginning, the Earth was without form, and void.
But the Sun shone upon the sleeping Earth and deep inside the brittle crust massive forces waited to be unleashed.
...
The fruits of intelligence were many: fire, tools, and weapons, the hunt, farming, and the sharing of food, the family, the village, and the tribe. 
Now it required but one more ingredient: a great Leader to unite the quarreling tribes to harness the power of the land to build a legacy that would stand the test of time:

a CIVILIZATION!

My understanding (Hah!) is that the one quote means "Again I say, [the] Carthage [-inians] must be destroyed!" Cato urged daily from the Senate floor for months or years.

I believe the other says, "Carthage is destroyed!" Somewhat different. I've seen it written another way, too. Can't find it, though.
