It Is Conceivable That I Might Well

When A Nation Has Allowed Itself To Fall Under A Tyrannical Regime, It Cannot Be Absolved From The Faults Due To The Guilt Of That Regime.

How Little Can We Foresee The Consequences Either Of Wise Or Unwise Action, Of Virtue Or Of Malice. Without This Measureless And Perpetual Uncertainty, The Drama Of Human Life Would Be Destroyed.

There Are Two Processes Which We Adopt Consciously Or Unconsciously When We Try To Prophesy. We Can Seek A Period In The Past Whose Conditions Resemble As Closely As Possible Those Of Our Day, And Presume That The Sequel To That Period Will, Save For Some Minor Alterations, Be Similar. Secondly, We Can Survey The General Course Of Development In Our Immediate Past, And Endeavor To Prolong It Into The Near Future. The First Is The Method The Historian; The Second That Of The Scientist. Only The Second Is Open To Us Now, And This Only In A Partial Sphere.

There Is Nothing Wrong With Change, If It Is In The Right Direction.
