We Have Conferred A Mystic Popularity Upon Officials Whose Only Virtue Is Their Timidity; While Our Scorn Of Rebels And Reformers Is So Great That We Have Ceased To Persecute Them.

Those Who Know Nothing About History Are Doomed Forever To Repeat It.

History Repeats Itself In The Large Because Human Nature Changes With Geological Leisureliness.
