    —Hermann Hesse (1877–1962)

    “The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “Free from public debt, at peace with all the world, and with no complicated interests to consult in our intercourse with foreign powers, the present may be hailed as the epoch in our history the most favorable for the settlement of those principles in our domestic policy which shall be best calculated to give stability to our Republic and secure the blessings of freedom to our citizens.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
