It is useful to remember that history is to the nation as memory is to the individual.

Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
The use of history as therapy means the corruption of history as history.
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.

The first rule of democracy is to distrust all leaders who begin to believe their own publicity.
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
I don't think I have made as much of my life as I should have. I should have written more books.
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
What higher obligation does a President have than to explain his intentions to the people and persuade them that the direction he wishes to go is right?
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
There is far less to the Presidency, in terms of essential activity, than meets the eye.
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
History is full of surprises.
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
Few secret undertakings ever did any nation any good.
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
I trust that a graduate student some day will write a doctoral essay on the influence of the Munich analogy on the subsequent history of the twentieth century. Perhaps in the end he will conclude that the multitude of errors committed in the name of Munich may exceed the original error of 1938.
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
