The Reward Of History Is

A History That Should Pursue All The Subtle Threads From End To End Might Be Eminently Valuable, But Not As A Tribute To Peace And Conciliation.

Whenever A Single Definite Object Is Made The Supreme End Of The State, Be It The Advantage Of A Class, The Safety Of The Power Of The Country, The Greatest Happiness Of The Greatest Number, Or The Support Of Any Speculative Idea, The State Becomes For The Time Inevitably Absolute. Liberty Alone Demands For Its Realization The Limitation Of The Public Authority, For Liberty Is The Only Object Which Benefits All Alike, And Provokes No Sincere Opposition.

Remember That One Touch Of Ill-nature Makes The Whole World Kin.

Be Not Content With The Best Book; Seek Sidelights From The Others; Have No Favourites.

A Generous Spirit Prefers That His Country Should Be Poor, And Weak, And Of No Account, But Free, Rather Than Powerful, Prosperous, And Enslaved.
