Man Loves Most That Which Is His

A Society In Stable Equilibrium Is-by Definition-one That Has No History And Wants No Historians.

From Earliest Childhood The Boy Was Accustomed To Feel That, For Him, Life Was Double. Winter And Summer, Town And Country, Law And Liberty, Were Hostile, And The Man Who Pretended They Were Not, Was In His Eyes A Schoolmaster -- That Is, A Man Employed To Tell Lies To Little Boys.

Politics Cannot Stop To Study Psychology Its Methods Are Rough; Its Judgments Rougher Still.

Wild As Man Was, And Disgusting As The More Degraded Tribes And Communities Were, The Best Of Them, And All Those From Which Further Advance Came, Were Marked By Good Qualities, Or They Could Never Have Risen To A Higher Stage.

My Own Conclusion Is That History Is Simply Social Development Along The Lines Of Weakest Resistance, And That In Most Cases The Line Of Weakest Resistance Is Found As Unconsciously By Society As By Water.
