We are not sure we are right until we have made the best case possible for those who are wrong.
Lord ActonIt is bad to be oppressed by a minority, but it is worse to be oppressed by a majority. For there is a reserve of latent power in the masses which, if it is called into play, the minority can seldom resist. But from the absolute will of an entire people there is no appeal, no redemption, no refuge but treason.
Lord ActonIf the past has been an obstacle and a burden, knowledge of the past is the safest and the surest emancipation.
