“History in the making is a very uncertain thing. It might be better to wait till the South American republic has got through with its twenty-fifth revolution before reading much about it. When it is over, some one whose business it is, will be sure to give you in a digested form all that it concerns you to know, and save you trouble, confusion, and time.

—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)

—Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)
“Cold an old predicament of the breath:
Adroit, the shapely prefaces complete,
Accept the university of death.”
