Quote #3 on Education Struggle Quotes >> History and Humanity
“...it should not be supposed from all the groaning shelves that China's history is therefore altogether unlike that of other nations. It is not. In China, too, empires rise and fall, personalities shine, progress is fitful, peace ephemeral, social justice elusive. The difference is one of degree, not kind, of scale, not character.”
