[quotes]

"Oh how great are His judgements/ to our minds so dark and deceived/ perfect mercy and justice in ev'ry decree!"

"The study of history is the best medicine for a sick mind; for in history you have a record of the infinite variety of human experience plainly set out for all to see; and in that record you can find for yourself and your country both examples and warnings; fine things to take as models, base things; rotten through and through, to avoid."
-Livy.
