The amazing thing since so many variables enter into historical judgments, is not that historians disagree but that they agree as often as they do. – Louis Gottschalk, Understanding History
A boy who hears a lesson in history ended by the beauty of peace, and how Napoleon brought ruin upon the world and that he should be forever cursed, will not long have much confidence in his teacher. He wants to hear more about the fighting and less about the peace negotiations. – William Lee Howard, Peace, Dolls and Pugnacity
