• “The fairies, besides being vengeful, are also very arrogant, and allow no interference with their old-established rights” ― Lady Francesca Speranza Wilde (mother of Oscar Wilde and Willie Wilde)
• “Of all men’s miseries the bitterest is this: to know so much and to have control over nothing.” ― Herodotus, The Histories
• “There is properly no history; only biography.” Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882).
• “What experience and history teach is this — that people and governments never have learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.” Georg W.E. Hegel (1770-1831) Philosophy of History
• “I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain.” Letter to Abigail Adams, May 12, 1780. John Adams (1735-1826). Adams was U.S. President from 1797- 1801.
• “A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself within. The essential causes of Rome’s decline lay in her people, her morals, her class struggle, her failing trade, her bureaucratic despotism, her stifling taxes, her consuming wars.” Will Durant (1885-1981) Born in North Adams, Massachusetts. Caesar and Christ (1944). Epilogue.
