"Providence conceals itself in the details of human affairs, but becomes unveiled in the generalities of history" — Alphonse Marie Louis Prat de Lamartine

The best of prophets of the future is the past

Romance is a love affair in other than domestic surroundings

Anyone can be a millionaire, but to become a billionaire you need an astrologer.

The grand perhaps! We look on helplessly, there the old misgivings, crooked questions are

I seldom go into a natural history museum without feeling as if I were attending a funeral

If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.
