Time
"So I have cultivated the vast garden of human experience which is history, without troubling myself overmuch about laws, essential first causes, or how it is all coming out."
Experience
"Historical methodology, as I see it, is a product of common sense applied to circumstances."
Circumstance
"Everyone agrees to that; but when we come to define truth, dissension starts."
Truth
"In any case, his judgment and set of values, acting alone or through his assistants, determine not only what is gold and what is dross but the design of the history which he creates out of the metal. The historian decides what is significant, and what is not."
