—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
“World history is a court of judgment.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“All appointments hurt. Five friends are made cold or hostile for every appointment; no new friends are made. All patronage is perilous to men of real ability or merit. It aids only those who lack other claims to public support.”
