History Is A Tangled Skein That One

As History Stands, It Is A Sort Of Chinese Play, Without End And Without Lesson.

The Spider-mind Acquires A Faculty Of Memory, And, With It, A Singular Skill Of Analysis And Synthesis, Taking Apart And Putting Together In Different Relations The Meshes Of Its Trap. Man Had In The Beginning No Power Of Analysis Or Synthesis Approaching That Of The Spider, Or Even Of The Honey-bee; But He Had Acute Sensibility To The Higher Forces.

The Study Of History Is Useful To The Historian By Teaching Him His Ignorance Of Women.

For After All Man Knows Mighty Little, And May Some Day Learn Enough Of His Own Ignorance To Fall Down Again And Pray. Not That Icare. Only, If Such Is God's Will, And Fate And Evolution--let There Be God!

There Is No Such Thing As An Underestimate Of Average Intelligence.
