Quote for the Day: Whom History Teaches
"History can teach only those who listen to it, not those who want to tell it something." (Friedrich Paulsen)
Just as cooks pray for a good crop of young animals and fishermen for a good haul of fish, in the same way busybodies pray for a good crop of calamities or a good haul of difficulties that they, like cooks and fishermen, may always have something to fish out and butcher. (Plutarch, "On Being a Busybody")
"History can teach only those who listen to it, not those who want to tell it something." (Friedrich Paulsen)
