"The study of history is a powerful antidote to contemporary arrogance. It is humbling to discover how many of our glib assumptions, which seem to us novel and plausible, have been tested before, not once but many times and in innumerable guises; and discovered to be, at great human cost, wholly false." | by: | Paul Bede Johnson
(1928-) English journalist, popular historian, speechwriter, and author |
