The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present. History is a hill or high point of vantage, from which alone men see the town in which they live or the age in which they are living.
Gilbert K. ChestertonEvery man is important if he loses his life;and every man is funny if he loses his hat and has to run after it.
Gilbert K. ChestertonI am not absentminded. It is the presence of mind that makes me unaware of everything else.
