“I need a sitting room where I can entertain my friends, but I must have a library where my books entertain me.”
Brooks Adams, great-grandson of John & Abigail Adams

“History may not be a very practical study, but it teaches some useful lessons, one of which is that nothing is accidental, and that if men move in a given direction, they do so in obedience to an impulsion as automatic as is the impulsion of gravitation.”
Brooks Adams, The Theory of Social Revolutions
