It is a common thing for men to benumb their own arms, and make them as dead and useless by leaning too much upon them: so it is in a moral as well as a natural way: all the prudence and pains in the world avail nothing without God. So saith the Psalmist, in Psalm cxxvii. 2.

The average conservative is a slave to the most incidental and trivial part of his forefathers glory -- to the archaic formula which happened to express their genius or the eighteenth-century contrivance by which for a time it was served.

Walter Lippmann

I'm really interested in modern history, but to fulfill a History degree at Brown you have to do modern and pre-modern.

Emma Watson

Be curious always! For knowledge will not acquire you: you must acquire it.
