Lord Acton
  • The science of politics is the one science that is deposited by the streams of history, like the grains of gold in the sand of a river and the knowledge of the past, the record of truths revealed by experience, is eminently practical, as an instrument of action and a power that goes to making the future.

  • And remember, where you have a concentration of power in a few hands, all too frequently men with the mentality of gangsters get control. History has proven that.

  • I'm not a driven businessman, but a driven artist. I never think about money. Beautiful things make money.

  • If some great catastrophe is not announced every morning, we feel a certain void. Nothing in the paper today, we sigh.

  • Save for the wild force of Nature, nothing moves in this world that is not Greek in its origin.
