Wars are poor chisels for carving out peaceful tomorrows.
In every man the memory of the struggles and the heroes of the past is alive. But these memories are not incompatible with the desire for peace in the future.
The best prophet of the future is the past.
Those who try to obliterate the past are injuring the present.
The historian is a prophet looking backward.
My argument is that War makes rattling good history; but Peace is poor reading.
The past is really almost as much a work of the imagination as the future.
The past is where its supposed to be.
The past is what the past is.
Our pasts so many times determine the value of what is happening today. Everybody is midway in their story.
