Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from In the Days of the Pilgrim Fathers Out of small beginnings great things have been produced, and as one small candle may light a thousand, so the light here kindled hath shone to many - - Bradford. The coming hither of the Pilgrim three centuries ago shaped the destinies of this Continent, and therefore profoundly affected the destiny of the whole world. - Theodore Roosevelt, at the laying of the corner stone of the Pilgrim Memorial Monument at Provincetown, Massachusetts, April 20, 1907. New occasions teach new duties; Time makes ancient good uncouth; They must upward still and onward, who would keep abreast of Truth: Lo, before us gleam her camp-fires! We ourselves must Pilgrims be, Launch our Mayflower, and steer boldly through the desperate winter sea. Nor attempt the Future´s portal with the Past´s blood-rusted key. - J. R. Lowell, in "The Present Crisis," 1844. If a man says that he does not care to know where his grandfather lived, what he did, and what were that grandfather´s politics and religious creed, it can merely mean that he is incapable of taking interest in one of the most interesting forms of human knowledge - the knowledge of the details of the Past. - The London Spectator.
