"History presents complete examples. Experience is doubly defective; we are born too late to see
the beginning, and we die too soon to see the end of many things. History supplies both of these
defects: modern history shows the causes, when experience presents the effects alone: and ancient
history enables us to guess at the effects, when experience presents the causes alone."-BOLINGBROKE.
