Arnold J. Toynbee

"Those of our human kind who have done the most to ameliorate the life of human on Earth
have not been the scientists, with all their wonderful and laudable discoveries,
nor the inventors or technicians, nor leaders of industrialism, nor the captains and the kings and the statesmen,
but the *prophets and *saints."
"The works of artist and men of letters outlive the deeds of business men, soldiers and statesmen.
The poets and philosophers outrage the historians; while the prophets and saints overtop and outlast them all."



Professor Arnold J. Toynbee
