Henry Adams
  • I have written too much history to have faith in it and if anyone thinks I'm wrong, I am inclined to agree with him.

  • There is no such thing as an underestimate of average intelligence.

  • No man likes to have his intelligence or good faith questioned, especially if he has doubts about it himself.

  • It is impossible to underrate human intelligence - beginning with one's own.

  • Knowledge of human nature is the beginning and end of political education.
