Victoria C. Woodhull: “It is above individuals, and is independent of peoples, though its channels of operation may be modified by individuals…”

A fact isolated from all connections loses its significance.

The chief value, then, of an intimate knowledge of the past is, that from it the future may be foreseen, and that the lesson it teaches may assist in the formation of aids to the natural order of things.

It is this species of corruption that is becoming a stench in the nostrils of all those whose patriotism is more than pocket deep.

To do so carries no conviction nor prophetic knowledge of what must be next, as a necessary sequence.
