Believe Quotes
Americans, more than most people, believe that history is the result of individual decisions to implement conscious intentions. For Americans, more than most people, history has been that....

And it is not bad for Americans to come to terms with the fact that for them too, history is a story of inertia and the unforeseen.

If it is comprehensible to its intended beneficiaries, it is the work of insufficiently advanced thinkers.
