More quotes by Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
In Defense of the World Order . . . U.S. soldiers would have to kill and die.
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
For most Americans the Constitution had become a hazy document, cited like the Bible on ceremonial occasions but forgotten in the daily transactions of life.
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
People who claw their way to the top are not likely to find very much wrong with the system that enabled them to rise.
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
Science and Technology revolutionize our lives, but memory, tradition and myth frame our response. Expelled from individual consciousness by the rush of change, history finds its revenge by stamping the collective unconscious with habits, values, expectations, dreams. The dialectic between past and future will continue to form our lives.
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
The broad liberal objective is a balanced and flexible mixed economy, thus seeking to occupy that middle ground between capitalism and socialism whose viability has so long been denied by both capitalists and socialists.
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
Total separation of church and state was considered the best safeguard for the health of each. As [Andrew] Jackson explained, in refusing to name a fast day, he feared to 'disturb the security which religion now enjoys in this country, in its complete separation from the political concerns of the General Government.'
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
It is useful to remember that history is to the nation as memory is to the individual.

Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.

Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
Expelled from individual consciousness by the rush of change, history finds its revenge by stamping the collective unconsciousness with habits and values.
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
Santayana's aphorism must be reversed: too often it is those who can remember the past who are condemned to repeat it.
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
Television has spread the habit of instant reaction and stimulated the hope of instant results.
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
There is far less to the Presidency, in terms of essential activity, than meets the eye.
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
Politics in a democracy is, at the end, an educational process.
Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.
History is full of surprises.
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.
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.
