—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
“... the history of the race, from infancy through its stages of barbarism, heathenism, civilization, and Christianity, is a process of suffering, as the lower principles of humanity are gradually subjected to the higher.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
