Horses (thou say'st) and asses men may try,
And ring suspected vessels ere they buy;

And all the woman glares in open day. — Alexander Pope

The great ideals of the past failed not by being outlived (which must mean over-lived), but by not being lived enough. Mankind has not passed through the Middle Ages.

Faust
