Wars are not paid for in wartime, the bill comes later. The more you know of your history, the more liberated you are. History will be kind to me for I intend to write it. The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see. We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it’s our life or our possessions and property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history of the world were written by the same hand. When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it - always. Most of us spend too much time on the last twenty-four hours and too little on the last six thousand years. History suggests that capitalism is a necessary condition for political freedom. History teaches that war begins when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap. Before you give up hope, turn back and read the attacks that were made on Lincoln.
