    —Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)

    “A people without history
    Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern
    Of timeless moments.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “All history is a record of the power of minorities, and of minorities of one.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
