"I believed so, yes," Corina said slowly. "Yet the Order's millennia of experience cannot be totally wrong. It had to be pattern rapport." "Then either human and Irschchan patterns are closer than anyone's ever suspected . . ." "Or it is our own two basic patterns which are in phase." "Uh-huh, that could Hey! Remember, I told you I had more trouble reading Sunbeam than I did reading you?"
They have, after all, ruled Irschcha for over five millennia, and according to Thark, brought about peace and order for most of it. He feels honor-bound to do the same for the rest of the galaxy." "Looks to me more like stagnation," Medart commented. "You've had space travel for more than what, two of those millennia? but when MacLeod found you, you were still system-bound.
The term is ambassadors and we will expect to meet on a basis of equality. Surely in all Earth's millennia of social evolution man has worked out something better than either of your teams have built here. We should like to be instructed." Dick Hawkins said stiffly, "We can instruct you on Earth's present socio-economic system." "I am afraid we no longer trust you, Richard Hawkins.
Had you remained on Terra, you would have been exterminated millennia ago. Here, you were free to grow without the pressure of human population to hamper you." The computer was thinking that its pupil had done well, even with the advantages of his heritage and training.

"Although," Godhome went on, "they did not think of themselves as gods, any more than you think of yourself as one." It paused briefly. "Put yourself in the place of one of your remote ancestors some millennia ago.
In another two or three millennia, however, the points of resemblance are likely to have become so obliterated that English and Irish, in the absence of all but their own descriptive evidence, will have to be set down as "unrelated" languages. They will still have in common certain fundamental morphological features, but it will be difficult to know how to evaluate them.
During these millennia, men had evolved, concomitantly with their material civilisation, a kind of working philosophy of life, traces of which are found in every land where this form of civilisation has prevailed.
The animals fought, and bathed in the luxury of its rays, for many millennia were required to produce any noticeable change in its life-giving radiations. "At last one animal gained the ascendancy. Our race. But though one species now ruled, there was no peace. Age followed age while semi-barbaric peoples fought among themselves. But even as they fought, they learned.
