History is the record of what one age finds worthy of note in another Picture Quote #1

Only a fairy tale calls a constant condition ‘happiness’ Picture Quote #1

History is still in large measure poetry to me Picture Quote #1

To each eye, perhaps, the outlines of a great civilization present a different picture. In the wide ocean upon which we venture, the possible ways and directions are many; and the same studies which have served for my work might easily, in other hands, not only receive a wholly different treatment and application, but lead to essentially different conclusions Picture Quote #1

Only the fairy tale equates changelessness with happiness... Permanence means paralysis and death. Only, in movement, with all its pain, is life Picture Quote #1

True universality does not consist in knowing much but in loving much Picture Quote #1

In history the way of annihilation is invariably prepared by inward degeneration, by decrease of life. Only then can a shock from outside put an end to the whole Picture Quote #1

The seventeenth century is everywhere a time in which the state’s power over everything individual increases, whether that power be in absolutist hands or may be considered the result of a contract, etc. People begin to dispute the sacred right of the individual ruler or authority without being aware that at the same time they are playing into the hands of a colossal state power Picture Quote #1

Neither in the life of the individual nor in that of mankind is it desirable to know the future Picture Quote #1

History is on every occasion the record of that which one age finds worthy of note in another Picture Quote #1

Great men are necessary for our life, in order that the movement of world history can free itself sporadically, by fits and starts, from obsolete ways of living and inconsequential talk Picture Quote #1
