Every form of government tends to perish by excess of its basic principle.

One of the lessons of history is that nothing is often a good thing to do and always a clever thing to say.

History is mostly guessing the rest is prejudice.

Bankers know that history is inflationary and that money is the last thing a wise man will hoard.

The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds.
