Men are often biased in their judgment on account of their sympathy and their interests.

Fourth, we might have declared an embargo against the shipping from American ports of any merchandise to either one of these governments that persisted in maintaining its military zone.

Do not confuse beauty with beautiful. Beautiful is a human judgment. Beauty is All. The difference is everything.

In any case, his judgment and set of values, acting alone or through his assistants, determine not only what is gold and what is dross but the design of the history which he creates out of the metal. The historian decides what is significant, and what is not.
