We Learn From History That We Do

Governments Have Never Learned Anything From History, Or Acted On Principles Deducted From It.

Truth Is Found Neither In The Thesis Nor The Antithesis, But In An Emergent Synthesis Which Reconciles The Two.

We Assert Then That Nothing Has Been Accomplished Without Interest On The Part Of The Actors; And — If Interest Be Called Passion, Inasmuch As The Whole Individuality, To The Neglect Of All Other Actual Or Possible Interests And Claims, Is Devoted To An Object With Every Fibre Of Volition, Concentrating All Its Desires And Powers Upon It — We May Affirm Absolutely That Nothing Great In The World Has Been Accomplished Without Passion.

Every Idea, Extended Into Infinity, Becomes Its Own Opposite.

Amid The Pressure Of Great Events, A General Principle Gives No Help.
