Quotes by Barbara W. Tuchman: The complete collection of over 300 quotes

By Bill Ciccotti

Book Overview

Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill.Books are humanity in print.War is the unfolding of miscalculations.Nothing sickens me more than the closed door of a library.Dead battles, like dead generals, hold the military mind in their dead grip.The unrecorded past is none other than our old friend, the tree in the primeval forest which fell without being heard.The fleet sailed to its war base in the North Sea, headed not so much for some rendezvous with glory as for rendezvous with discretion.To a historian libraries are food, shelter, and even muse.Honor wears different coats to different eyes.Nothing so comforts the military mind as the maxim of a great but dead general.
