"A smile...such a common, easy thing to find when I was a foal. In my older years, when things started going to Tartarus, I saw fewer and fewer of them. Now, in this harsh new world, I see almost none. This is how we should rate how good a civilization is...not by the strength of our armies, or the progress of our magic and technology...but by how many ponies are happy enough to smile. By that reckoning, I guess I'm doing a pretty good job with Sanctuary."
