Thomas Arnold, aka Thomas "Tom" Arnold the Younger

English Literary Scholar

"The major fact about history is that in large part it appears criminal."

"All calm inquiry conducted among those who have their main principles of judgment in common, leads, if not to an approximation of views, yet, at least, to an increase of sympathy."

"Real knowledge, like everything else of value, is not to be obtained easily. It must be worked for, studied for, thought for, and more than all, must be prayed for."
