History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.
Funny how historic days seem so ordinary when you're living them.
What do you think killed the most people in history? It wasn’t explosives or drugs. It was information.

There is the moral of all human tales:
’Tis but the same rehearsal of the past
On the human imagination events produce the effects of time.
Thus, he who has travelled far and seen much is apt to fancy that he has lived long; and the history that most abounds in important incidents soonest assumes the aspect of antiquity.
