| "History with its flickering lamp stumbles along the trail of the
past, trying to reconstruct its scenes, to revive its echoes, and kindle
with pale gleams the passion of former days. What is the worth of all
this? The only guide to a man is his conscience; the only shield to his
memory is the rectitude and sincerity of his actions. It is very imprudent
to walk through life without this shield, because we are so often mocked by
the failure of our hopes and the upsetting of our calculations; but with
this shield, however the fate may play, we march always in the ranks of
honor." | |
|
Sir Winston Churchill

excuse themselves with the expression, "That is politics; nor can you be
responsible for deception in others. But you are responsible for yourself!
There are no collective panaceas ? only individual ones." | |
