Friday Philosophy

As long as I'm featuring quotes about history, it makes sense to draw from some great historians themselves. One such was Charles A. Beard (1874-1948):

"All the lessons of history in four sentences: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power. The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars."
