John Dalberg-Acton Zitate

The science of politics is the one science that is deposited by the streams of history, like the grains of gold in the sand of a river; and the knowledge of the past, the record of truths revealed by experience, is eminently practical, as an instrument of action and a power that goes to making the future.

Die Wissenschaft der Politik ist die eine Wissenschaft, die von den Strömen der Geschichte deponiert wird, wie die Goldkörner im Sand eines Flusses; und das Wissen der Vergangenheit, die Aufzeichnung von Wahrheiten, die durch die Erfahrung offenbart werden, ist als praktisches Instrument und als eine Handlungskraft, die für die Gestaltung der Zukunft wichtig ist, äußerst praktisch.
