Bruce Catton Quotes

To learn to get along without, to realize that what the world is going to demand of us may be a good deal more important than what we are entitled to demand of it - this is a hard lesson Picture Quote #1

Say this much for big league baseball - it is beyond question the greatest conversation piece ever invented in America Picture Quote #1
What began as a bitter dispute over Union and States’ Rights, ended as a struggle over the meaning of freedom in America. At Gettysburg in 1863, Abraham Lincoln said perhaps more than he knew. The war was about a new birth of freedom Picture Quote #1
The Civil War was fought in 10,000 places, from Valverde, New Mexico, and Tullahoma, Tennessee, to St. Albans, Vermont, and Fernandina on the Florida coast. More than 3 million Americans fought in it, and over 600,000 men, 2 percent of the population, died in it Picture Quote #1
Here was the greatest and most moving chapter in American history, a blending of meanness and greatness, an ending and a beginning. It came out of what men were, but it did not go as men had planned Picture Quote #1

The enduring realization that when a great challenge comes, the most ordinary people can show that they value something more than they value their own lives. When the last of the veterans had gone, and the sorrows and bitterness which the war created had at last worn away, this memory remained Picture Quote #1
Our American heritage is greater than any one of us. It can express itself in very homely truths; in the end it can lift up our eyes beyond the glow in the sunset skies Picture Quote #1
Say this for big league baseball - it is beyond any question the greatest conversation piece ever invented in America Picture Quote #1
Early youth is a baffling time Picture Quote #1
Even the most painstaking history is a bridge across an eternal mystery Picture Quote #1

History does not usually make real sense until long afterward Picture Quote #1
The 1860 election became a referendum on the southern way of life Picture Quote #1
Yet there is a dignity in the human spirit which can become most clearly visible in the moment of defeat and disaster Picture Quote #1
Sooner or later you must move down an unknown road that leads beyond the range of the imagination, and the only certainty is that the trip has to be made Picture Quote #1
A singular fact about modern war is that it takes charge. Once begun it has to be carried to its conclusion, and carrying it there sets in motion events that may be beyond men’s control. Doing what has to be done to win, men perform acts that alter the very soil in which society’s roots are nourished Picture Quote #1
A certain combination of incompetence and indifference can cause almost as much suffering as the most acute malevolence Picture Quote #1

Men see things late, and it may be that at times an evil fate drives them on Picture Quote #1
And there is the headlight, shining far down the track, glinting off the steel rails that, like all parallel lines, will meet in infinity, which is after all where this train is going Picture Quote #1
The present moment is nice but it does not last. Living in it is like waiting in a junction town for the morning limited; the junction may be interesting but some day you will have to leave it and you do not know where the limited will take you Picture Quote #1
