Major-General Sir Isaac Brock, K.B.
"We may teach the enemy this lesson: "History is the intermittent appearance of commanding personalities." "History's realities are seldom dull." "History deals with our lives as social beings." "History is the timeless search for heroes." "History is a chronicle of famous men." "History is a record of encounters between character and circumstance." "History is shaped by triumph and tragedy." "History is romance and tragedy." "History is someone's memories of momentous events." "History is a description of things as they are or have been." "History is a chronicle of events." "History is a pattern of timeless moments." "History gives us antecedents and a place in time." "History deals with and serves life." ... provided they are led by a great general." Copyright © 2011 W. R. Wilson |
