Famous George Frost Kennan Quotations
United States diplomat who recommended a policy of containment in dealing with Soviet aggression (1904-2005)
Not only the
studying
and
writing
of
history
but also the
honoring
of it both represent affirmations of a certain defiant faith-a desperate, unreasoning faith, if you will-but
faith
nevertheless in the
endurance
of this threatened world-faith in the
total
essentiality
of historical
continuity
.

best
an
American
can
look
forward
to is the lonely
pleasure
of one who stands at long

have

will
consent
to believe he has been.

Russian

The very
concept
of
history
implies the
scholar
and the
reader
. Without a
generation
of civilized
people
to
study
history, to
preserve
its records, to absorb its lessons and relate them to its own problems, history, too, would lose its
meaning
.
