Here's a quatrain written in 1555 by Nostradamus:
"Come the millennium, month 12,
In the home of greatest power,
The village idiot will come forth
To be acclaimed the leader."
(it's a spoof, but how fitting!)
"All truth passes
through 3 stages.
First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." -- Arthur Schopenhauer
