A Few More Thoughts.

History, teaches us many things.

" The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have little. "
Franklin D. Roosevelt
" That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history. "
Aldous Huxley
" The world we see that seems so insane is the result of a belief system that is not working. To perceive the world differently, we must be willing to change our belief system, let the past slip away, expand our sense of now, and dissolve the fear in our minds. "
William James
" History is the sum total of things that could have been avoided. "
Konrad Adenauer
" Indeed, history is nothing more than a tableau of crimes and misfortunes. "
Voltaire
" The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history. "
George Orwell
" The megalomaniac differs from the narcissist by the fact that he wishes to be powerful rather than charming, and seeks to be feared rather than loved. To this type belong many lunatics and most of the great men of history. "
Bertrand Russell
" History, a distillation of rumour.
Thomas Carlyle
