“History, while it should be scientific in its method, should pursue a practical object. That is, it should not merely gratify the reader's curiosity about the past, but modify his view of the present and his forecast of the future.”
John Robert Seeley, The Expansion of England: Two Courses of Lectures

“History without political science has no fruit. Political science without history has no root.”
John Robert Seeley, Introduction to Political Science: Two Series of Lectures by Sir J. R. Seeley

“Commerce in itself may favour peace, but when commerce is artificially shut out by a decree of Government from some promising territory, then commerce just as naturally favours war.”
John Robert Seeley, The Expansion of England: Two Courses of Lectures
