Christopher Hitchens	Religion is part of the human make-up. It's also part of our cultural and intellectual history.

Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel	Governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deducted from it.	101
Michelle Obama	You may not always have a comfortable life and you will not always be able to solve all of the world's problems at once but don't ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious and hope can take on a life of its own.	101

Marcus Garvey	A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots.	101
Antonin Scalia	Originalism is sort of subspecies of textualism. Textualism means you are governed by the text. That's the only thing that is relevant to your decision, not whether the outcome is desirable, not whether legislative history says this or that. But the text of the statute.	101
David McCullough	History is a guide to navigation in perilous times. History is who we are and why we are the way we are.	101

Eduardo Galeano	History never really says goodbye. History says, 'See you later.'	101
Elayne Boosler	I am thankful the most important key in history was invented. It's not the key to your house, your car, your boat, your safety deposit box, your bike lock or your private community. It's the key to order, sanity, and peace of mind. The key is 'Delete.'	101
Eric Whitacre	I'm not a culture snob. So while, of course, I think the Mozart 'Requiem' or, say, Beethoven's 'Ninth' are some of the greatest works of art in the history of humankind, that's not to say the Beatles or Queen or Simon and Garfunkel aren't brilliant, beautiful, important works of art that should be sung without a sense of irony.	101
Felix Frankfurter	It is a fair summary of history to say that the safeguards of liberty have been forged in controversies involving not very nice people.	101
Friedrich Engels	All history has been a history of class struggles between dominated classes at various stages of social development.	101

Haile Selassie	History teaches us that unity is strength, and cautions us to submerge and overcome our differences in the quest for common goals, to strive, with all our combined strength, for the path to true African brotherhood and unity.	101
Hans Haacke	Museums are managers of consciousness. They give us an interpretation of history, of how to view the world and locate ourselves in it. They are, if you want to put it in positive terms, great educational institutions. If you want to put it in negative terms, they are propaganda machines.	101
Kara Walker	There was a manifesto in the late '60s/early '70s, and it basically laid out what 'black art' was and that it should embrace black history and black culture. There were all these rules - I was shocked, when I found it in a book, that it even existed, that it would demarcate these artists.	101
Lynsey Addario	Where in the world would I rather be than on the front line of history?	101
M. Scott Peck	The whole course of human history may depend on a change of heart in one solitary and even humble individual - for it is in the solitary mind and soul of the individual that the battle between good and evil is waged and ultimately won or lost.	101
Madame de Stael	Love is the whole history of a woman's life, it is but an episode in a man's.	101
Mark McKinnon	Ronald Reagan was long thought to be the most conservative of Republicans. And by any standard today he is the most popular Republican in modern history.

Mitch McConnell	It took us in this country 11 years to get from the Declaration of Independence to the Constitution.	101

Nicola Sturgeon	The importance of education is ingrained in Scottish history.	101
Octavio Paz	Literature is the expression of a feeling of deprivation, a recourse against a sense of something missing. But the contrary is also true: language is what makes us human. It is a recourse against the meaningless noise and silence of nature and history.	101
Olivia De Havilland	I wanted to be what my high-school civics and history teacher thought of as a good American. That automatically involved taking an interest in government.	101
Orson F. Whitney	Poetry is the elder sister of history, the mother of language, the ancestress of civilization.	101

Pauline Neville-Jones	The suicide bombers who struck London on 7 July 2005 killed 52 innocent people and wounded hundreds more. All of them must live with their memories. And the rest of us will always remember where we were when we heard that London had been hit by the worst terrorist attack in its history.	101
Peter L. Berger	The past is malleable and flexible, changing as our recollection interprets and re-explains what has happened.	101
Robert Fulghum	I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.	101
Samuel L. Jackson	I'm a good son, a good father, a good husband - I've been married to the same woman for 30 years. I'm a good friend. I finished college, I have my education, I donate money anonymously. So when people criticize the kind of characters that I play on screen, I go, 'You know, that's part of history.'	101
Vanilla Ice	I turn my negatives into my positives because one of my mottos is, 'Yesterday's history, tomorrow's a mystery,' meaning that you can't go back and change anything in the past.	101
Virginia Henley	I was born in England and went to school there. That's when I discovered my undying passion for history - not just for the Middle Ages, but all periods of history. My favorites are medieval, Elizabethan, and Georgian; however, I've written stories set in periods as early as ancient Rome, right up to the Victorian era.	101
William Halsey	There are no extraordinary men... just extraordinary circumstances that ordinary men are forced to deal with.	101

Chuck Hagel	The United Nations has a critical role to play in promoting stability, security, democracy, human rights, and economic development. The UN is as relevant today as at any time in its history, but it needs reform.	101
Emilia Fox	I never feel lonely if I've got a book - they're like old friends. Even if you're not reading them over and over again, you know they are there. And they're part of your history. They sort of tell a story about your journey through life.	101
F. L. Lucas	At Munich we sold the Czechs for a few months grace, but the disgrace will last as long as history.	101
Francis Fukuyama	I've always had a Marxist understanding of history: democracy is a result of a broad modernization process that happens in every country. Neocons think the use of political power can force the pace of change, but ultimately it depends on societies doing it themselves.	101
Fred Ward	I think we're struggling with trying to redefine various positions at this point in history. To allow freedom for women, freedom for men, freedom from those sharply defined gender roles.	101
Fred Willard	Cleveland is my hometown, and the Indians have a narrow but rich history.	101

Jack Dee	If I'm pushed, I'd also have to admit I don't like people with allergies. They just annoy me. There seems to be something far too self-centred about it. 'No thanks, I'm allergic.' Why not just say 'No thanks'? I wasn't asking for your medical history, I was just passing around the nuts. Trying to be friendly, that's all.	101
Lawrence Summers	The dramatic modernization of the Asian economies ranks alongside the Renaissance and the Industrial Revolution as one of the most important developments in economic history.	101
Rabih Alameddine	A phoenix, Beirut seems to always pull itself out its ashes, reinvents itself, has been conquered numerous times in its 7,000-year history, yet it survives by both becoming whatever its conquerors wished it to be and retaining its idiosyncratic persona.	101
Ray Manzarek	Through all of history mankind has ingested psychedelic substances. Those substances exist to put you in touch with spirits beyond yourself, with the creator, with the creative impulse of the planet.	101
Richard Holbrooke	I think history is continuous. It doesn't begin or end on Pearl Harbor Day or the day Lyndon Johnson withdraws from the presidency or on 9/11. You have to learn from the past but not be imprisoned by it. You need to take counsel of history but never be imprisoned by it.	101
Robert Johnson	History has always been a series of pendulum swings, but the individual doesn't have to get caught in that.	101

Steven Johnson	If you look at history, innovation doesn't come just from giving people incentives; it comes from creating environments where their ideas can connect.	101
Tariq Ramadan	Malaysia is a country unlike any other: Full of promise and fragility. Its history, cultural and religious diversity make it a rich, compelling and surprising land.	101
Tim Pawlenty	History has taught us over and over again that freedom is not free. When push comes to shove, the ultimate protectors of freedom and liberty are the brave men and women in our armed forces. Throughout our history, they've answered the call in bravery and sacrifice.	101
Tim Wise	Jesus was not born in a manger in central Pennsylvania. He was a man of color. And the fact that we have represented him for centuries literally as a white man speaks to the entire history of white supremacy.	101
Walton Goggins	I quite like antiques. I like things that are old and the history they bring with them. I would rather fly to Morocco on an $800 ticket and buy a chair for $300 than spend $1,100 on one at Pottery Barn.	101
Antony Beevor	Teaching the history of the British Empire links in with that of the world: for better and for worse, the Empire made us what we are, forming our national identity. A country that does not understand its own history is unlikely to respect that of others.	101
Ami Bera	Our nation is built upon a history of immigration, dating back to our first pioneers, the Pilgrims. For more than three centuries, we have welcomed generations of immigrants to our melting pot of hyphenated America: British-Americans; Italian-Americans; Irish-Americans; Jewish-Americans; Mexican-Americans; Chinese-Americans; Indian-Americans.	101
Charlie Hunnam	I got expelled from high school, and then did my exams from home. I decided, through that experience, that I was going to expediate my plan and didn't go to university.

Clifton Fadiman	To take wine into our mouths is to savor a droplet of the river of human history.	101

Edgar Bronfman, Jr.	The history of the music industry is inevitably also the story of the development of technology. From the player piano to the vinyl disc, from reel-to-reel tape to the cassette, from the CD to the digital download, these formats and devices changed not only the way music was consumed, but the very way artists created it.	101
Eduard Shevardnadze	I'm sure that was the right step, even though, formally speaking, it may seem disadvantageous for a president to resign. But, looking into what is happening today and what is going to happen in the future, I think history will show I made the right decision.	101
Edward M. Lerner	Too much detail can bog down any story. Enough with the history of gunpowder, the geology of Hawaii, the processes of whaling, and cactus and tumbleweed.	101

Francis Cabot Lowell	Gardeners instinctively know that flowers and plants are a continuum and that the wheel of garden history will always be coming full circle.	101

Janeane Garofalo	Let's be very honest about what this is about. It's not about bashing Democrats, it's not about taxes, they have no idea what the Boston tea party was about, they don't know their history at all. This is about hating a black man in the White House. This is racism straight up.	101
Jeff Goodell	President Obama is in no danger of being judged by history as an eco-radical.	101
Jill Lepore	Theories of history used to be supernatural: the divine ruled time; the hand of God, a special providence, lay behind the fall of each sparrow. If the present differed from the past, it was usually worse: supernatural theories of history tend to involve decline, a fall from grace, the loss of God's favor, corruption.	101
Jim Webb	The injustices endured by black Americans at the hands of their own government have no parallel in our history, not only during the period of slavery but also in the Jim Crow era that followed.	101
John Polkinghorne	Science cannot tell theology how to construct a doctrine of creation, but you can't construct a doctrine of creation without taking account of the age of the universe and the evolutionary character of cosmic history.	101
Jose Mujica	My lifestyle is a consequence of my wounds. I'm the son of my history.	101

M. H. Abrams	When I was a graduate student, the leading spirits at Harvard were interested in the history of ideas.	101
Martin Filler	Although prefabrication has a long history - the ancient Romans shipped pre-cut stone columns, pediments, and other architectural elements to their colonies in North Africa, where the numbered parts were reassembled into temples - the idea took on a new impetus with the technological advances of the Industrial Revolution.	101
Michael Dickinson	I'm obsessed with insects, particularly insect flight. I think the evolution of insect flight is perhaps one of the most important events in the history of life. Without insects, there'd be no flowering plants. Without flowering plants, there would be no clever, fruit-eating primates giving TED Talks.	101
Nelson Rockefeller	It is essential that we enable young people to see themselves as participants in one of the most exciting eras in history, and to have a sense of purpose in relation to it.	101
Pete Sessions	History shows that tax increases during a recession are a recipe for greater unemployment and economic loss.	101
Philippa Gregory	The moment that changed me for ever was when I had my first seminar with my history professor at the University of Sussex. I realised that history would answer all the questions I had spent my life asking. It was an extraordinary moment.	101
Phillip Noyce	Whites were the winners, blacks were the losers, we wrote the history books, and they didn't feature.	101
Randy Bachman	Burton Cummings joining the Guess Who in January 1966 changed my life forever. It's been a rocky affiliation, no doubt. One journalist once described our relationship as the longest running soap opera in Canadian history. That may be a bit oversimplified.	101
Sela Ward	For me, Los Angeles, New York, where I don't know my neighbors, where people don't necessarily care if they know their neighbors, I'm missing things that truly fed my soul when I was younger, the exchanges between people, the caring and the shared history with people.	101
Steve Lacy	I still love the whole history of jazz. The old things sound better than ever.	101
Tom Osborne	The odds are always against you no matter what your previous history is. You have to overcome the tendency to relax.	101
Tom Paulin	It's ironic that early on in the war with Afghanistan, the Americans and the British were saying, 'We recognise there must be a Palestinian state,' then they rapidly forgot about it. I think history will show that that kind of amnesia will come back to haunt you.	101
Wael Ghonim	The transition from dictatorship to democracy is always very difficult, and if you read a history of any country that went through this, it wasn't easy. And, you know, you don't end dictatorship one day and next day you have fully fledged democracy.	101
Anita Baker	Completeness? Happiness? These words don't come close to describing my emotions. There truly is nothing I can say to capture what motherhood means to me, particularly given my medical history.	101
Ann Druyan	For most of the history of our species we were helpless to understand how nature works. We took every storm, drought, illness and comet personally. We created myths and spirits in an attempt to explain the patterns of nature.	101
Charles A. Beard	All the lessons of history in four sentences: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power. The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.	101
Christine Keeler	If I don't tell it all now, the story in the history books will always be imperfect and that would be wrong.	101

Edward Herrmann	Automobiles have always been part of my life, and I'm sure they always will be. What is it about them that moves me? The sound of a great engine, the unity and uniqueness of an automobile's engineering and coachwork, the history of the company and the car, and, of course, the sheer beauty of the thing.	101
George Nethercutt	From computers to information technology to airplanes, it has been America's unique blend of republican government and free-market capitalism that has allowed us to surpass all other nations in history.	101
Gilles Duceppe	Look at what has occurred in history. When the Berlin Wall fell, it was not surprising, but it was unexpected. Who predicted the Arab Spring? Nobody expected it, but all the ingredients were there. I think all the ingredients are also there for Quebec to become a country. But when? That's another question.	101
Gloria Votsis	I'm into the vampire stuff. I think it's really fascinating and interesting. There's a lot of history behind all of that, and if you look into it, it's really interesting stuff.	101
Henry Waxman	The sanctity of our battlefields, monuments, and veterans institutions is of utmost importance to preserve military history and pay respect to those who fought.	101
Jeane Kirkpatrick	Solidarity was the movement that turned the direction of history, I think.	101
Karyn Parsons	The problem with relegating black history to one really short month, the shortest month, is not only are we telling the same stories over and over again - which are amazing, George Washington Carver is incredible, there's nobody like Frederick Douglass - but there are so many.	101
Katharine Anthony	The lovers of romance can go elsewhere for satisfaction but where can the lovers of truth turn if not to history?	101
Konrad Adenauer	History is the sum total of things that could have been avoided.	101
Louis R. Chenevert	Goodrich was the biggest acquisition in the history of aerospace.	101
Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar II	It is a law woven into the nature of man, attested by history, by science, by literature and art, and by dally experience, that strength of mind and force of character are the supreme rulers of human affairs.	101
Mackenzie Davis	I love Thanksgiving. In Canada, we don't really have a lot of history with Thanksgiving, and it's a holiday devoted to food, and that warms the cockles of my being.	101
Marty Meehan	Black History Month must be more than just a month of remembrance; it should be a tribute to our history and reminder of the work that lies in the months and years ahead.	101
Pete Best	Anyone who knows the history of the Pete Best Band or the Combo, we were on the verge of breaking in in America. In the mid-'60s, I had great songwriters; we wrote some great stuff.	101
Phyllis George	Crafts make us feel rooted, give us a sense of belonging and connect us with our history. Our ancestors used to create these crafts out of necessity, and now we do them for fun, to make money and to express ourselves.	101
Polykarp Kusch	To those of you who study history, economics, sociology, literature and language I present the challenge of the utilization of the enormous resources in our grasp to the problem of creating a genuinely good life for yourselves and your children.	101
Sidney Blumenthal	It was the biggest suppression of voting rights in our country's history since Jim Crow. And the thread of race runs from the beginning to the end of my book.	101
Therese Fowler	The history of storytelling isn't one of simply entertaining the masses but of also advising, instructing, challenging the status quo.	101
Amy Waldman	History is the history of human behavior, and human behavior is the raw material of fiction. Most people recognize that novelists do research to get the facts right - how a glove factory works, for example, or how courtesans in imperial Japan dressed.	101
Cary Elwes	I like historical pieces. History was my favorite subject in school, it was the only subject I excelled in. I love the idea of history and the idea that we may have the opportunity to learn from our past mistakes.	101
David Gill	A lot of them want to come and play for Manchester United. They want to play because Alex has a record of giving youth a chance and we have the history and heritage of Manchester United.	101
Elizabeth Coleman	History provides a laboratory in which we see played out the actual, as well as the intended, consequences of ideas.	101
George F. Kennan	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.	101
Jean Charest	Recognizing Quebec as being different, recognizing our history, recognizing our identity, has never meant a weakening of Quebec and has never been a threat to national unity.	101
John Brown Gordon	No people in the history of the world have ever been so misunderstood, so misjudged, and so cruelly maligned.	101
John Coleman	It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed, appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming; It is a scam. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an illusion of rapid global warming.	101
Peter Utley	An obituary should be an exercise in contemporary history, not a funeral oration.	101
Ronnie Musgrove	The issue of equal rights for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals has vexed politicians for decades. I have my own cloudy history with the issue, having supported a law in Mississippi that made it illegal for LGBT couples to adopt children. I believed at the time this was a principled position based on my faith.	101
Samuel Freeman Miller	History teaches us, in no mistaken language, how often customs and practices, which were originated without lawful warrant, and opposed to the sound construction of the law, have come to overload and pervert it, as commentators on the text of Holy Scripture have established doctrines wholly at variance with its true spirit.	101
Scott McCloud	There's a very big part of me that just wants to take all of comics history and toss it on the bonfire. I'd sort of like to get on to the future.	101
Sonia Johnson	We must remember that one determined person can make a significant difference, and that a small group of determined people can change the course of history.	101
Steve Jurvetson	History has proven time and again that downturns are the best time to invest in new start-ups. You get good deals and find a better environment for start-ups to grow.	101
Big Pun	I'm mostly concentrating now on continuing to make history in Hip-Hop, making everybody proud of me, I'm not just a rapper now, I'm in history now.	101
Bob Costas	Any good broadcast, not just an Olympic broadcast, should have texture to it. It should have information, should have some history, should have something that's offbeat, quirky, humorous, and where called for it, should have journalism, and judiciously it should also have commentary. That's my ideal.	101
Celine Buckens	I actually love history. I've devoured book after book of stories from World War I and World War II. They're really two sections of world history that really interest me. I knew very extensively a lot about World War I.	101
Daniel Silva	I absolutely fell in love with Moscow. It's one of those places where you can't help but trip over history at every turn. It's a city of enormous contradictions. Within a few yards of Lenin's Tomb is some of the most expensive shopping in the world.	101
Doc Rivers	I don't think you should ever run from history. You should learn from it and embrace it.	101
Jeremy Grantham	Remember that history always repeats itself. Every great bubble in history has broken. There are no exceptions.	101
Joe Barton	Our flag honors those who have fought to protect it, and is a reminder of the sacrifice of our nation's founders and heroes. As the ultimate icon of America's storied history, the Stars and Stripes represents the very best of this nation.	101
Marie-Chantal Claire	We have a huge family history with Singapore because we have the duty-free shops in the airports. It's a very industrious city. It's beautiful, and Singaporeans have this wonderful desire for, and love of, luxury goods. You can see how well thought out and planned the city is with the best boutiques.	101
Ronnie Chan	It does not matter how much we donate; it matters whether the donation is meaningful. How to define meaningful? Let society and history judge.	101
Sarah Harrison	The concept of preserving history, collating full archives, making them as usable as possible so the public have access to them, I really feel that it allows the public an ability to engage with their own history.	101
A. Whitney Brown	The past actually happened but history is only what someone wrote down.	101
Anne Fortier	Even as I pursued a doctorate in the history of ideas in my native Denmark, I realized I had neither the encyclopedic training nor the passion for cool logic - not to mention the nerve - to follow in the footsteps of classical liberal philosophers and economists such as Robert Nozick, Friedrich Hayek, and Milton Friedman.	101
Camilo Jose Cela	There are two kinds of man: the ones who make history and the ones who endure it.	101
Carl T. Rowan	The library is the temple of learning, and learning has liberated more people than all the wars in history.	101
James Nasmyth	OUR history begins before we are born. We represent the hereditary influences of our race, and our ancestors virtually live in us.	101
Jamie Johnson	Personally, I can't see the appeal in trekking down to D.C. for a networking extravaganza, even if it is built around a special moment in American history. While I find the election of Barack Obama inspirational, I don't have a desire to memorialize it with overly effusive celebration.	101
Marshall Brickman	Music pulled me like a gravitational force. I entered college as a physics major but left as a Bachelor of Music, a degree with the same practical application as, say, one in the History of Chinese Poetry.	101
Richard Brautigan	All of us have a place in history. Mine is clouds.	101
Robert Nelson	There was once a time when art history and film were basically the same medium, but art history is frozen in late-19th-century technology that has survived into the early 21st century.	101
Steve McFadden	It's an absolute honor to be taking part in the pageant for the Diamond Jubilee. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and will be a moment in history that will always be remembered. I'm really looking forward to being out on the river with friends and family. To mark this historic moment will be extremely special.	101
Ralph Gibson	In the history of photography, we have many masterpieces in terms of black and white books. You have Bresson's 'Decisive Moment,' Frank's 'The Americans'... many masterpieces. But there is nothing to this caliber in color. Well, I think I'll waltz with my muse and hope that I might be able to produce something on this order in color.	101
Richard Hofstadter	It is ironic that the United States should have been founded by intellectuals, for throughout most of our political history, the intellectual has been for the most part either an outsider, a servant or a scapegoat.	101
Richard Lederer	English language is the most universal language in history, way more than the Latin of Julius Caesar. It's the most punderful language because its vocabulary has a certain critical mass that makes a lingo good for punning.	101
Jason Kilar	History has shown that incumbents tend to fight trends that challenge established ways and, in the process, lose focus on what matters most: customers.	101
John Burns	The Thames is liquid history.	101
Marc Bloch	History is, in its essentials, the science of change. It knows and it teaches that it is impossible to find two events that are ever exactly alike, because the conditions from which they spring are never identical.	101
Mark E. Hyman	Michael Jordon may have been the best basketball player in history, but he couldn't have won six NBA titles without a team.	101
Michael King	I see the great continuities in New Zealand history as being decency and common sense and up until now when we've confronted these things we've been able to talk them through, and I'm sure we will with this issue as well.	101
Michael Sims	Henry David Thoreau was an oddball job quitter and ne'er-do-well who evolved into the bearded sage of literature, natural history, and civil liberties.	101
John Perkins	This empire, unlike any other in the history of the world, has been built primarily through economic manipulation, through cheating, through fraud, through seducing people into our way of life, through the economic hit men. I was very much a part of that.	101
Jacques Rivette	And Twin Peaks, the Film is the craziest film in the history of cinema. I have no idea what happened, I have no idea what I saw, all I know is that I left the theater floating six feet above the ground.	101
Jane Haddam	I'd like to write a history, maybe of the Reformation.	101
Jean-Luc Bilodeau	I've always really, really wanted to go to Egypt and go inside some pyramids and just hang out there. I don't know why. I don't like hot weather, and I don't like the desert, but something about the pyramid and the mummies and all their history there, I'd love to go check it out.	101
Jandy Nelson	I have had this longstanding interest in going back to school to get a Ph.D. in art history. I was especially interested in exploring this idea of the ecstatic impulse in an artist.	101
James Martineau	All that is noble in the world's past history, and especially the minds of the great and the good, are never lost.	101
Julien Benda	And History will smile to think that this is the species for which Socrates and Jesus Christ died.	101
James Hutton	The past history of our globe must be explained by what can be seen to be happening now. No powers are to be employed that are not natural to the globe, no action to be admitted except those of which we know the principle.	101
Justin Winsor	Hardly a name in profane history is more august than his. Hardly another character in the world's record has made so little of its opportunities. His discovery was a blunder; his blunder was a new world; the New World is his monument.	101
George Santayana	Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.	102
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin	Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.	102
Richard M. Nixon	No event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then, and it is misremembered now.	102
Robert Kennedy	Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total; of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.	102
Dave Barry	The Internet is the most important single development in the history of human communication since the invention of call waiting.	102
Arnold J. Toynbee	Of the twenty-two civilizations that have appeared in history, nineteen of them collapsed when they reached the moral state the United States is in now.	102
B. H. Liddell Hart	Helplessness induces hopelessness, and history attests that loss of hope and not loss of lives is what decides the issue of war.	102
Dick Gregory	We used to root for the Indians against the cavalry, because we didn't think it was fair in the history books that when the cavalry won it was a great victory, and when the Indians won it was a massacre.	102
Ferdinand Marcos	I often wonder what I will be remembered in history for. Scholar? Military hero? Builder?	102
Geoffrey Canada	People don't believe or understand that a community can lose hope. You can have a whole community where hopelessness is the norm, where folks don't have faith that things will get better because history and circumstances have proven over 30, 40, or 50 years that things don't get better.	102
Heston Blumenthal	I was born in the '60s and grew up in the '70s - not exactly the best decade for food in British history. It was horrendous. It was a time when, as a nation, we excelled in art and music and acting and photography and fashion - all creative skills... all apart from cooking.	102
Homaro Cantu	In time, foods such as hamburgers and ice cream became more than just meals. They became part of American history and culture, touchstones that are almost immediately nostalgic and sentimental no matter how old you are or what part of the country you are from.	102
James K. Polk	Peace, plenty, and contentment reign throughout our borders, and our beloved country presents a sublime moral spectacle to the world.	102
Lech Walesa	He who puts out his hand to stop the wheel of history will have his fingers crushed.	102
Martin Heidegger	But every historical statement and legitimization itself moves within a certain relation to history.	102
Maynard James Keenan	Just in general, any government throughout history hasn't really wanted its people to be educated, because then they couldn't control them as easily.	102
Nancy Gibbs	It's hard to think of any tool, any instrument, any object in history with which so many developed so close a relationship so quickly as we have with our phones.	102
Noah Feldman	Empires inevitably fall, and when they do, history judges them for the legacies they leave behind.	102
Norman Cousins	A library is the delivery room for the birth of ideas, a place where history comes to life.	102
Patricia Schroeder	My entire history with the Navy have been trying to get the Navy to focus on families and child care and all the things that they were way behind in - housing, all of those things.	102
Samantha Power	History is laden with belligerent leaders using humanitarian rhetoric to mask geopolitical aims. History also shows how often ill-informed moralism has led to foreign entanglements that do more harm than good.	102
Xavier Rudd	For me, surfing is as close a connection I can have with Mother Nature. To surf, you're riding a pulse of energy from Mother Nature. And it's strong. It's real. It's there. And you're dancing with that. You're connecting with that. You're might be the only person in the history of the universe that connects with that particular pulse of energy.	102
Yitzhak Shamir	We have said that Israel has had a very bad history with the United Nations, and whoever cares for himself in Israel distances himself from that Organization.	102
Anselm Kiefer	History is formed by the people, those who have power and those without power. Each one of us makes history.	102
Carlos Ruiz Zafon	Barcelona is a very old city in which you can feel the weight of history; it is haunted by history. You cannot walk around it without perceiving it.	102
Daniel Boulud	New York has an amazing history of farming and fishing that goes right back to the Pilgrim Fathers. At its core are the four seasons, which are distinct, well-established and similar to those in Lyon, where my family lives: when it's snowing in New York, a week later it will be snowing there.	102
Fred Ward	It's a major part of world history that men are trying to kill each other. It's just one slaughter after the other. We talk about it, but no one's really listening.	102
Gary Locke	China's history is marked by thousands of years of world-changing innovations: from the compass and gunpowder to acupuncture and the printing press. No one should be surprised that China has re-emerged as an economic superpower.	102
Georges Clemenceau	America is the only nation in history which miraculously has gone directly from barbarism to degeneration without the usual interval of civilization.	102
Hans Kung	After two world wars, the collapse of fascism, nazism, communism and colonialism and the end of the cold war, humanity has entered a new phase of its history.	102
Herbert Croly	The first phase of American political history was characterized by the conflict between the Federalists and the Republicans, and it resulted in the complete triumph of the latter.	102
Irving R. Kaufman	The judicial system is the most expensive machine ever invented for finding out what happened and what to do about it.	102
Jessamyn West	The past is really almost as much a work of the imagination as the future.	102
Julian Assange	In the history of Wikileaks, nobody has claimed that the material being put out is not authentic.	102
Ken Salazar	The way Americans most understand the history of Latinos in this country, a lot of it is being told now through the lens of what's happening with the immigration debate. While that's an important debate that has security and moral implications, in my view, there's also a huge history of Latinos in the United States that's never been told.	102
Lawrence Summers	In the history of the world, no one has ever washed a rented car.	102
Martin Jacques	More than 90% of Chinese believe themselves to be Han. Of course, such a vast population is derived from countless different races, but because China has enjoyed such a long and continuous history as a polity, there has been thousands of years of mixing, melding and assimilation.	102
Mike Figgis	In a way, the history of jazz's development is a small mirror of classical music's development through the centuries. Now jazz is a living form of original music, while classical music has gotten to the end of its cycle in terms of exploring its form.	102
Norman Spinrad	As a child, I read science fiction, but from the very beginnings of my reading for pleasure, I read a lot of non-fictional history, particularly historical biography.	102
Patrick Stump	All of the agreed-upon pariahs throughout pop-culture history put their identities into the thing we decry. And yet we derive our own identities from the act of hating. We connect on the things we are disappointed in. Some may argue that nothing in history gathers a crowd like complaining about Lady Gaga's meat dress.	102
Peter Ackroyd	It may seem unfashionable to say so, but historians should seize the imagination as well as the intellect. History is, in a sense, a story, a narrative of adventure and of vision, of character and of incident. It is also a portrait of the great general drama of the human spirit.	102
Philip Treacy	I believe in originality, primarily. However, it's important to know what there has been before to aim in that direction. Art history informs us. It informs our mind. I like to look at books, exhibitions, paintings, as a computer, subconsciously taking on information.	102
R. D. Laing	We live in a moment of history where change is so speeded up that we begin to see the present only when it is already disappearing.	102
Ralph Abernathy	Christians should be ready for a change because Jesus was the greatest changer in history.	102
Stacy Schiff	Here you have an incredibly ambitious, accomplished woman who comes up against some of the same problems that women in power come up against today. Cleopatra plays an oddly pivotal role in world history as well; in her lifetime, Alexandria is the center of the universe, Rome is still a backwater.	102
Steve King	Our Founding Fathers crafted a constitutional Republic for the first time in the history of the world because they were shaping a form of government that would not have the failures of a democracy in it, but had the representation of democracy in it.	102
Sumner Redstone	It was always tough, but today we are in the throes of something we have never seen in our history. It's clear in recent times the market is looking for a bottom.	102
Alexander Haig	You have to look at the history of the Middle East in particular. It has been one of failure and frustration, of feudalism and tribalism.	102
Azzedine Alaia	I learned French in Tunis, along with Arabic. I also learned French history. I knew the entire history of the kings of France. And I was fascinated by Versailles.	102
Chesty Puller	In the Confederate Army, an officer was judged by stark courage alone, and this made it possible for the Confederacy to live four years.	102
Derek Walcott	Visual surprise is natural in the Caribbean; it comes with the landscape, and faced with its beauty, the sigh of History dissolves.	102
Dirk Benedict	Harrison Ford was pretty content as a carpenter who thought it would be nice to work on TV and ended up being the biggest film star in the history of cinema.	102
Francois Mitterrand	France is delighted at this new opportunity to show the world that when one has the will one can succeed in joining peoples who have been brought close by history.	102
Howard Fast	Americans have no sense of history. And not much memory. They don't remember what happened yesterday.	102
Jim Lee	When you have a Green Lantern mixing with a foil like Batman, you get scenes that are comic-book history. There's the epicness of it all.	102
Liane Moriarty	Google is my best friend and my worst enemy. It's fabulous for research, but then it becomes addictive. I'll have a character eating an orange, and next thing I'm Googling types of oranges, I'm visiting chat rooms about oranges, I'm learning the history of the orange.	102
Matt Dillon	I've always liked Southeast Asia a lot. It's a wonderful place, an easy place. People are great, there's a lot of history and culture, and I like the serenity of Buddhism there. It's very beautiful. I find that to be a very nice place to visit.	102
Michael K. Simpson	History has shown us that, on extraordinarily rare occasions, it becomes necessary for the federal government to intervene on behalf of individuals whose 14th Amendment rights to legal due process and equal protection may be violated by a state.	102
Mike Fitzpatrick	The American flag is the symbol of our freedom, national pride and history.	102
Norodom Sihanouk	Time will inevitably uncover dishonesty and lies; history has no place for them.	102
Phillip Noyce	So when I read this story, it unlocked a volcano of unanswered questions, because the questions had never been asked. It was an opportunity to come to terms with the lot of repressed history - and history of repression.	102
Robert Harris	If one tries to think about history, it seems to me - it's like looking at a range of mountains. And the first time you see them, they look one way. But then time changes, the pattern of light shifts. Maybe you've moved slightly, your perspective has changed. The mountains are the same, but they look very different.	102
Saul Williams	Why shouldn't rap be esoteric, able to take in current events, history and criticism? I guess it's this old idea of containment - that rappers, because they're black, can't and shouldn't aspire to look outside the ghetto for influence.	102
Susan Griffin	I am not so different in my history of abandonment from anyone else after all. We have all been split away from the earth, each other, ourselves.	102
Thomas Steinbeck	Plot makes the character just as history makes the man.	102
Tony Gwynn	I'm coaching 'swing at this, don't swing at that,' and in the middle of it, a kid looks at me and says, 'Coach, I think I'm going to fail history.' Or maybe their girlfriend just dumped them. These are kids, and once I embraced that, this became a lot more fun.	102
William S. Paley	What is public history but a register of the successes and disappointments, the vices, the follies and the quarrels of those who engage in contention for power.	102
Adolfo Perez Esquivel	For me, it is essential to have the inner peace and serenity of prayer in order to listen to the silence of God, which speaks to us, in our personal life and the history of our times, of the power of love.	102
Chaske Spencer	I think people should look at learning about Native American history the same as visiting Washington, D.C., and seeing the monuments there. It's all part of the package.	102
Colin Hay	People say history is boring, and that is true because people are boring. We haven't changed since time began. We're still the same. We've obviously made some changes. When we started, it was all about food, clothing and shelter. Now we watch 'Top Chef', 'Project Runway', and 'Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.'	102
Derek Blasberg	Temptation is as old as time; or at least, the history of temptation extends as far back as the moment Eve gave Adam that serpent's apple. But what sets the lady apart from the tramp is the ability to acknowledge she needs to clean up her act - and then, of course, the fact that she actually does clean up her act.	102
George Nethercutt	Students who are interested in learning about the environment should not be dissuaded from doing so, but only if they have proved their proficiency in other basic courses, such as U.S. history. Until then, we need to focus on producing well-educated citizens steeped in their country's history and mindful of their civic responsibilities.	102
Gotye	A big part of making music is the discovery aspect, is the surprise aspect. That's why I think I'll always love sampling. Because it involves combining the music fandom: collecting, searching, discovering music history, and artifacts of recording that you may not have known existed and you just kind of unlock parts of your brain, you know?	102
Karyn Parsons	Black history isn't a separate history. This is all of our history, this is American history, and we need to understand that. It has such an impact on kids and their values and how they view black people.	102
Philip Guedalla	History repeats itself. Historians repeat each other.	102
Preston Brooks	But, sir, they have written me down upon the history of the country as worthy of expulsion, and in no unkindness I must tell them that for all future time my self-respect requires that I shall pass them as strangers.	102
Ryan Coogler	Coming up in the Bay Area and being African American in a city that has a history of complex issues of violent crime, interaction with the police is always intense. That's something you have to learn. My mom taught me at a young age that if ever a cop stops you, you put your hands up and freeze - don't move.	102
Tate Taylor	It's easy to forget history or give it a cliff notes. The cliff notes of history. But mainly, so much of what happens in 'Eyes on the Prize' happened in Jackson, Mississippi. Jackson, Mississippi isn't really known for any other touchstone to the movement, other than Medgar Evers being killed. There were sit-ins and riots and atrocities.	102
Ted Kulongoski	I'm very comfortable with where history will judge me.	102
Byron White	The 1st Amendment protects the right to speak, not the right to spend.	102
Joe Greene	Winning the Super Bowl was obviously a great one, but the joy I felt of going to the Super Bowl, it was what I felt about the Pittsburgh Steelers and where we came from, the history of us to that point.	102
John Coleman	Global Warming: It is a hoax. It is bad science. It is high-jacking public policy. It is the greatest scam in history.	102
John Shimkus	Rosa Parks was a woman of strength, conviction, and morality. Her action on December 1, 1955, to defy the law made her a leading figure in our nation's civil rights history.	102
Joseph Rotblat	I have to bring to your notice a terrifying reality: with the development of nuclear weapons Man has acquired, for the first time in history, the technical means to destroy the whole of civilization in a single act.	102
Mangosuthu Buthelezi	We have our own history, our own language, our own culture. But our destiny is also tied up with the destinies of other people - history has made us all South Africans.	102
Melissa Gilbert	My mother, whom I love dearly, has continually revised my life story within the context of a complicated family history that includes more than the usual share of divorce, step-children, dysfunction, and obfuscation. I've spent most of my adult life attempting to deconstruct that history and separate fact from fiction.	102
Ray Nagin	I was among the people in the Superdome. I knew what was going on every minute. I did not have air conditioning nor shower facilities. I made decisions based upon facts and not what I thought was going to happen. So history will judge me based upon those actions.	102
Tansy Rayner Roberts	History is not a long series of centuries in which men did all the interesting/important things and women stayed home and twiddled their thumbs in between pushing out babies, making soup and dying in childbirth.	102
Arthur Darvill	I go to the Natural History Museum and look at the cage of stuffed starlings there. But my favourite thing is the big blue whale. The scale of it is unbelievable, and makes you feel how insignificant you are as a human being.	102
C. V. Raman	In the history of science, we often find that the study of some natural phenomenon has been the starting point in the development of a new branch of knowledge.	102
Celine Buckens	I actually love history. I've devoured book after book of stories from World War I and World War II. They're really two sections of world history that really interest me.	102
Charlie Gonzalez	We made history when President Obama appointed Sonia Sotomayor, a proud Latina, the first Hispanic Supreme Court justice. And as the President likes to say, 'Every single one of them wasn't just the best Latino for the job, but the best person for the job.'	102
J. C. Chandor	I had decent but not great grades in high school because I was highly motivated in some subjects, like the arts, drama, English, and history, but in math and science I was a screw-up. Wooster saw something in me, and I really flourished there. I got into theatre, took photography and painting classes.	102
Subcomandante Marcos	The word of the oldest of the old of our peoples didn't stop. It spoke the truth, saying that our feet couldn't walk alone, that our history of pain and shame was repeated and multiplied in the flesh and blood of the brothers and sisters of other lands and skies.	102
James Chanos	It's almost sickening now that the regulators 'on the beat' while the biggest credit collapse in modern financial history unfolded are now patting themselves on the back for their 'brave' stance on short-selling!	102
Jo Bonner	Never in our country's history have we witnessed a natural disaster that has impacted so many people in such a wide area. In fact, as of the writing of this column, millions of people along the Gulf Coast have been displaced from their homes in a period of only five days.	102
Al Davis	History will dictate what my legacy is. And 'maverick' is fine, because I am.	102
Augustine Birrell	That great dust-heap called 'history'.	102
John Shelton Reed	Maybe we've been brainwashed by 130 years of Yankee history, but Southern identity now has more to do with food, accents, manners, music than the Confederate past. It's something that's open to both races, a variety of ethnic groups and people who move here.	102
Marc Bloch	But history is neither watchmaking nor cabinet construction. It is an endeavor toward better understanding.	102
Ashfaq Parvez Kayani	In the ultimate analysis, all of us would have served Pakistan better if history and our future generations judge us positively.	102
Jo Beverley	Venice is truly magical. The Devon-Dorset coast in England is so beautiful, and its sandstone cliffs are full of fossils, which can make for some very exciting walks. And I love Halifax, a great place with all the modern things you could want, plus a wonderful sense of history, and, of course, the sea.	102
Johannes Vilhelm Jensen	Whenever one reads of the determination of the species, or opens a book on natural science and history, in whatever language, one inevitably comes across the name of Linne.	102
John Barth	This is an exciting time. A new chapter in our history.	102
Jean Chretien	You have to look at history as an evolution of society.	102
John Sharp Williams	My reading of history convinces me that most bad government has grown out of too much government.	102
Desmond Tutu	If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.	103
Edmund Burke	Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.	103
Karl Marx	History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.	103
Christopher Columbus	Following the light of the sun, we left the Old World.	103
Mao Zedong	Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history; such is the history of civilization for thousands of years.	103
Alton Brown	The kitchen's a laboratory, and everything that happens there has to do with science. It's biology, chemistry, physics. Yes, there's history. Yes, there's artistry. Yes, to all of that. But what happened there, what actually happens to the food is all science.	103
Barton Gellman	Smallpox, which spreads by respiration and kills roughly one in three of those infected, took hundreds of millions of lives during a recorded history dating to Pharaonic Egypt. The last case was in 1978, and the disease was declared eradicated on May 8, 1980.	103
Carter G. Woodson	Those who have no record of what their forebears have accomplished lose the inspiration which comes from the teaching of biography and history.	103
Cory Booker	This is our history - from the Transcontinental Railroad to the Hoover Dam, to the dredging of our ports and building of our most historic bridges - our American ancestors prioritized growth and investment in our nation's infrastructure.	103
Dean Kamen	If history is any indication, all truths will eventually turn out to be false.	103
Dita Von Teese	Me personally, I want to entertain people above all. When you look back at burlesque in history and the real golden age of burlesque, those entertainers were there to entertain, and there wasn't usually some big political message behind what they were doing.	103
Edmund White	The Stonewall riots were a key moment for gay people. Throughout modern history, gays had thought of themselves as something like a mental illness or maybe a sin or a crime. Gay liberation allowed us to make the leap to being a 'minority group,' which made life much easier.	103
Edwin Powell Hubble	The history of astronomy is a history of receding horizons.	103
Emile Durkheim	A society whose members are united by the fact that they think in the same way in regard to the sacred world and its relations with the profane world, and by the fact that they translate these common ideas into common practices, is what is called a Church. In all history, we do not find a single religion without a Church.	103
Eric Schmidt	If you look at the history of technology over a couple hundred years, it's all about time compression and making the globe smaller. It's had positive effects, all the ones that we know. So we're much less likely to have the kind of terrible misunderstandings that led to World War I, for example.	103
F. W. de Klerk	The question that we must ask is whether we are making progress toward the goal of universal peace. Or are we caught up on a treadmill of history, turning forever on the axle of mindless aggression and self-destruction?	103
Franz Boas	Remember that in every single case in history the process of adaptation has been one of exceeding slowness. Do not look for the impossible, but do not let your path deviate from the quiet and steadfast insistence on full opportunities for your powers.	103
G. Gordon Liddy	They were afraid, never having learned what I taught myself: Defeat the fear of death and welcome the death of fear.	103
Haile Selassie	Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.	103
Ibrahim Babangida	Debate and divergence of views can only enrich our history and culture.	103
Isabel Wilkerson	What I love about the stories of the Great Migration is that this is not ancient history; this is living history. Most people of color can find someone in their own family who had experienced a migration of some kind, knowing the sense of dislocation, longing and fortitude.	103
Jean-Marie Le Pen	When you write a two thousand page history of the Second World War, the deportations and the concentration camps will take up five pages, and the gas chambers perhaps 20 lines.	103
Joseph Conrad	History repeats itself, but the special call of an art which has passed away is never reproduced. It is as utterly gone out of the world as the song of a destroyed wild bird.	103
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar	A lot of young players don't really know much about the history of the game and a lot of them are missing out on what the game is all about, especially the whole concept of sportsmanship and teamwork.	103
Karl Jaspers	The history of philosophy is not, like the history of the sciences, to be studied with the intellect alone. That which is receptive in us and that which impinges upon us from history is the reality of man's being, unfolding itself in thought.	103
Nick Hanauer	The truth is that all civic and social change is friction. Politics is friction. The only way you can bend the arc of history is to create that kind of friction, which is something that makes most people incredibly uncomfortable but which, for whatever reason, because of my upbringing or because of my genetics, is something that doesn't bug me.	103
Nina Garcia	If you look back in history of the women who are most memorable and most stylish, they were never the followers of fashion. They were the ones who were unique in their style, breakers of the rules. They were authentic, genuine, original. They were not following the trends.	103
Paul Harris	Permanent superiority has never been realized by any nation in history. After the rise comes the fall.	103
Paul Mooney	I read a lot of history. The passive Jews in Germany didn't survive. The smart ones got out.	103
Tim Kaine	The next president of the United States will be the president that will celebrate 100 years of women having the right to vote. I mean, I think having a woman president lead that celebration would be, you know, one of these instances of history really working out right in a poetic and beautiful way.	103
Timothy Leary	We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. But they've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go.	103
Tom Wolfe	I had always looked down on sociology as this arriviste discipline. It didn't have the noble history of English and history as a subject. But once I had a little exposure to it, I said, 'Hey, here's the key. Here's the key to understanding life and all its forms.'	103
Trevor Noah	If you look at it, the history of comedy has always been strongest among the nations who have been persecuted the most.	103
Zbigniew Brzezinski	We have actually experienced in recent months a dramatic demonstration of an unprecedented intelligence failure, perhaps the most significant intelligence failure in the history of the United States.	103
Alan Arkin	I love insane, stupid comedy, but I can only make it work if it's a character I can give some history to and make real. Like the guy I played in 'Little Miss Sunshine.' He's a maniac, but to me he was absolutely believable.	103
Amar Bose	We learned the value of research in World War II.	103
Antony Gormley	I want people to be excited about cooling towers and megasheds; they're as much part of our history as the rural barn.	103
Bruce Feiler	The most successful families embrace and elevate their family history, particularly their failures, setbacks and other missteps.	103
C. Wright Mills	Neither the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without understanding both.	103
Carlos Ruiz Zafon	The haunting of history is ever present in Barcelona. I see cities as organisms, as living creatures. To me, Madrid is a man and Barcelona is a woman. And it's a woman who's extremely vain.	103
Charles Dudley Warner	Regrets are idle; yet history is one long regret. Everything might have turned out so differently.	103
Chen Shui-bian	However, I must say that I am very happy to see that we have such a positive result for our first referendum in our history and that gives me more confidence in Taiwan's democracy.	103
Dallas Willard	The aim of God in history is the creation of an all-inclusive community of loving persons with God himself at the very heart of this community as its prime Sustainer and most glorious Inhabitant.	103
Eugene Cernan	Here I am at the turn of the millennium and I'm still the last man to have walked on the moon, somewhat disappointing. It says more about what we have not done than about what we have done.	103
Gary Ross	History is full of examples of people who clamp down after they began to enjoy too much freedom. Freedom can lead to instability, anarchy, and confusion. So there can be a moral counter-revolution.	103
Grover Cleveland	A truly American sentiment recognizes the dignity of labor and the fact that honor lies in honest toil.	103
Henrik Fisker	The biggest challenge is to build the team and start the company, while hiring people, raising money, building a brand which has no history, all at the same time. You're doing a lot of things that in an established company are already done.	103
Irving R. Kaufman	To the extent that the judicial profession becomes the daily routine of deciding cases on the most secure precedents and the narrowest grounds available, the judicial mind atrophies and its perspective shrinks.	103
James Lovelock	There aren't just bad people that commit genocide; we are all capable of it. It's our evolutionary history.	103
Jefferson Davis	Neither current events nor history show that the majority rule, or ever did rule.	103
LeRoy Neiman	I had a go at changing history - maybe not all by myself - I fought at the battle of Normandy, I slogged through the Ardennes, and I celebrated the liberation of Paris on the streets with beautiful French girls throwing flowers at me. I said good-bye to my first true love and discovered what I really wanted to do with my life.	103
Martin Jacques	Never underestimate the ability of political leaders to misread history on a monumental scale. The invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan have both served to hasten western decline: they have both failed to achieve their objectives and in the process demonstrated an underlying western impotence.	103
Ron Wyden	Police departments no longer have to pay overtime or divert resources from other projects to find out where an individual goes - all they have to do is place a tracking device on someone's car or ask a cell phone company for that individual's location history and the technology does the work for them.	103
Sun Ra	I'm playing dark history. It's beyond black. I'm dealing with the dark things of the cosmos.	103
Terence McKenna	History is just this froth of artifact production that has appeared in the last ten to fifteen thousand years. It spread across the planet very quickly. But that mind in man just goes back and back into the darkness.	103
Timothy Ferriss	I have scary eyes. I look like the guy in 'American History X,' yes. I remember coming home from school and asking my mum if I could get an eye transplant, and of course she declined.	103
Vic Snyder	Unfortunately, our history has abundant examples of patriotism being used to hurt those who express views in disagreement with that of the majority.	103
Amish Tripathi	I loved history in my school days, and I have always been a voracious reader. But in India, you end up doing MBA, engineering or medicine.	103
Cass Sunstein	As a matter of history, the Fourteenth Amendment was not understood to ban segregation on the basis of race.	103
Cobi Jones	I am excited to bring my deep knowledge, passion and expertise of soccer in this country to The New York Cosmos. They truly represent where this sport is headed on a national and international level, and I want to make history with them.	103
Heather Wilson	Many of our young people spend four years getting very expensive college degrees. But our universities fail them and the nation if they continue to graduate students with expertise in biochemistry, mathematics or history without teaching them to think about what problems are important and why.	103
Howard Hawks	I get a little sick of these New Yorkers who want me to make some psychic thing, like 'The Left-Handed Gun.' They don't know anything about Western history.	103
Jim DeMint	We know from our own history that democratic institutions take decades to mature, and we know from past conflicts that freedom is not free.	103
Joe Lieberman	This is an exciting time. I believe we stand at the edge of a new age - a Golden Age - of freedom that will rival any of the great eras of world history because it will be the entire world itself that is changing.	103
John Podhoretz	Obama has seen to the passage of the most radical legislation in recent American history and so-called 'progressives' should be thanking him for it - even as many of the rest of us rear in horror from its implications.	103
Lauren Cohan	I'm a history nerd. Actually acting's the best job for somebody who loves weird, different stuff.	103
Martin Filler	The skyscraper style first advocated by Louis Sullivan - a tower of strongly vertical character with clear definitions among base, shaft, and crown - has remained remarkably consistent throughout the history of this building type.	103
Max Brooks	Before I'm a zombie nerd, before I'm a science-fiction nerd, I am a history nerd.	103
Megan Smith	The things you're passionate about and interested in, get experience with them by going deep on projects. I would encourage science projects, plays. Pursue science, math, writing, history - the 21st century demands a lot of cross-disciplinary thinking.	103
Patrick Chappatte	We have learned the lines of good taste through history and our sense of guilt, be it post-colonial or post-Holocaust.	103
Sarah Bernhardt	Legend remains victorious in spite of history.	103
Tony Jaa	My happiness is being able to present my talents for people to see, and I feel like I'm an ambassador of Thai history and Thai culture on film so that people can see Muay Thai.	103
Alice Morse Earle	The study of tavern history often brings to light much evidence of sad domestic changes. Many a cherished and beautiful home, rich in annals of family prosperity and private hospitality, ended its days as a tavern.	103
Atifete Jahjaga	We have to forget the past. History is something that even today we are paying the consequences, and the future is integration. We all as a people, as citizens, as the leadership of both countries should be looking in that direction.	103
Dennis C. Blair	I think you can go back in history and look at what the effect in Asia and the world was of a divided, fractured China from, you know, the opium wars through the Chinese civil war, and I don't think it was pretty for Asia or the world.	103
Marty Meehan	As we celebrate Black History Month we should be grateful for the achievements they made and inspired by their legacies to continue their work.	103
Ted Koppel	History is a tool used by politicians to justify their intentions.	103
Anwar Sadat	Russians can give you arms but only the United States can give you a solution.	103
Cokie Roberts	Martha Washington. I think she's done herself a disservice in history with a little cap, you know? She looks like a namby-pamby little grandmotherly type, but she turned out to be a very strong woman.	103
David Horowitz	If we celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday at a time of presidential inaugurals, this is thanks to Ronald Reagan who created the holiday, and not to the Democratic Congress of the Carter years, which rejected it.	103
John Thune	I believe our flag is more than just cloth and ink. It is a universally recognized symbol that stands for liberty, and freedom. It is the history of our nation, and it's marked by the blood of those who died defending it.	103
Michael Nesmith	It's what the Iraqi people are going through right now. They have encountered a victorious, hostile force-but, you know, there they still are. There their culture is, there their history is, they're not going anywhere.	103
Maria Bello	I was always anti-marriage. I didn't understand monogamy. I couldn't figure out how that could last. And then I met Bryn and I started to understand the beauty of constancy and history and change and going on the roller coaster with someone - of having a partner in life.	103
Mia Love	I understand people, and I think that my life and my history and what I represent can relate to a lot of the women, the independents, the moderate voters.	103
Michael Novak	In most of history, societies have not been free. It's a very rare society that is free. The default condition of human societies is tyranny.	103
Michael Beschloss	To people who remember JFK's assassination, JFK Jr. will probably always be that boy saluting his father's coffin.	103
Michael Moritz	History shows that there is no more potent engine for reform than the passion of voters who feel betrayed by the politicians they hoped would do the right thing.	103
Judith Miller	Junk stands and antique markets are the perfect place to pick up clues about the history of a country, region or town.	103
Jack L. Chalker	I have taught history on the high school and college levels, and am or have been a lecturer at the Smithsonian, The National Institutes of Health, and numerous colleges and universities, mostly on science fiction and technology subjects.	103
John Baldacci	All I know is that history repeats itself and people are going to want to experience the world. But I know then they are going to have a better appreciation for what is here in Maine.	103
Juan Antonio Samaranch	We peruse one ideal, that of bringing people together in peace, irrespective of race, religion and political convictions, for the benefit of mankind.	103
George Washington	Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.	104
Kanye West	I feel like I'm too busy writing history to read it.	104
Elon Musk	We're running the most dangerous experiment in history right now, which is to see how much carbon dioxide the atmosphere... can handle before there is an environmental catastrophe.	104
Richard M. Nixon	You must pursue this investigation of Watergate even if it leads to the president. I'm innocent. You've got to believe I'm innocent. If you don't, take my job.	104
Vladimir Putin	The centuries-old history and culture of India, majestic architectural monuments and museums of Delhi, Agra and Mumbai have a unique attractive force.	104
Woodrow Wilson	The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it.	104
Adam Savage	New York State is giant and has some of the most beautiful landscape on the Eastern seaboard. There is so much history in New York State, from the Erie Canal to the Catskills, the birth of American stand-up comedy.	104
Alexander Smith	I go into my library and all history unrolls before me.	104
Alice Roosevelt Longworth	Dorothy is the only woman in history who has had her menopause in public and made it pay.	104
Bill Walton	But you have to understand, my beard is so nasty. I mean, it's the only beard in the history of Western civilization that makes Bob Dylan's beard look good.	104
Carter G. Woodson	If a race has no history, if it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated.	104
Damien Hirst	But I think it's more that when you're young, you're invincible, you're immortal - or at least you think you are. The possibilities are limitless, you're inventing the future. Then you get older and suddenly you have a history. It's fixed. You can't change anything. I find that a bit disturbing, to be honest.	104
Emma Goldman	The history of progress is written in the blood of men and women who have dared to espouse an unpopular cause, as, for instance, the black man's right to his body, or woman's right to her soul.	104
George McGovern	The Establishment center... has led us into the stupidest and cruelest war in all history. That war is a moral and political disaster - a terrible cancer eating away at the soul of our nation.	104
Gwen Ifill	History shows that people often do cast their votes for amorphous reasons-the most powerful among them being the need for change. Just ask Bill Clinton.	104
H. G. Wells	Human history in essence is the history of ideas.	104
Helena Blavatsky	The Secret Doctrine is the common property of the countless millions of men born under various climates, in times with which History refuses to deal, and to which esoteric teachings assign dates incompatible with the theories of Geology and Anthropology.	104
Iqbal Quadir	The history of Europe over the last several centuries provides clear evidence of the transformative power of commerce.	104
Jack Canfield	One individual can begin a movement that turns the tide of history. Martin Luther King in the civil rights movement, Mohandas Ganhi in India, Nelson Mandela in South Africa are examples of people standing up with courage and non-violence to bring about needed changes.	104
Joan of Arc	Get up tomorrow early in the morning, and earlier than you did today, and do the best that you can. Always stay near me, for tomorrow I will have much to do and more than I ever had, and tomorrow blood will leave my body above the breast.	104
Kelly Wearstler	I love history... everything is inspired by history, so that's why I love vintage and antiques.	104
Louis L'Amour	For one who reads, there is no limit to the number of lives that may be lived, for fiction, biography, and history offer an inexhaustible number of lives in many parts of the world, in all periods of time.	104
Malcolm Muggeridge	History will see advertising as one of the real evil things of our time. It is stimulating people constantly to want things, want this, want that.	104
Max Weber	The so-called 'materialistic conception of history,' with the crude elements of genius of the early form which appeared, for instance, in the 'Communist Manifesto,' still prevails only in the minds of laymen and dilettantes.	104
Michael Specter	The history of agriculture is the history of humans breeding seeds and animals to produce traits we want in our crops and livestock.	104
Mitt Romney	The soles of Neil Armstrong's boots on the moon made permanent impressions on our souls and in our national psyche. Ann and I watched those steps together on her parent's sofa. Like all Americans we went to bed that night knowing we lived in the greatest country in the history of the world. God bless Neil Armstrong.	104
Natasha Trethewey	In the early 1970s in Atlanta, I attended what had formerly been an all-white school but had become a black school after integration and white flight. Perhaps because of this, the teachers created a curriculum that included a focus on African American literature and history year-round, not just in February.	104
Nate Ruess	I think it's really cool, but Jimmy Eat World and Gin Blossoms did it better than anyone. People don't realize just how awesome the Arizona history is, especially for alternative music. Growing up, that's all I ever wanted to be was those two bands.	104
Nick Clegg	The UK is not going to leave the European Union. Of course not. We are inextricably wound up with Europe. In terms of culture, history and geography, we are a European nation.	104
Norman Cousins	History is a vast early warning system.	104
Prince Charles	Something as curious as the monarchy won't survive unless you take account of people's attitudes. After all, if people don't want it, they won't have it.	104
Robert Rauschenberg	The artist's job is to be a witness to his time in history.	104
Sandra Day O'Connor	Statutes authorizing unreasonable searches were the core concern of the framers of the 4th Amendment.	104
Stephen Jay Gould	What you see is that the most outstanding feature of life's history is a constant domination by bacteria.	104
Thabo Mbeki	We are not being arrogant or complacent when we are said that our country, as a united nation, has never in its entire history, enjoyed such a confluence of encouraging possibilities.	104
Vanilla Ice	I live off a motto that says, 'yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery'. I have goals and agendas. Where ever I'll be tomorrow, that's where I'll be.	104
Victor Davis Hanson	In history, one gathers clues like a detective, tries to present an honest account of what most likely happened, and writes a narrative according to what we know and, where we aren't absolutely sure, what might be most likely to have happened, within the generally accepted rules of evidence and sources.	104
Vikas Swarup	Tokyo may have more money and Kyoto more culture; Nara may have more history and Kobe more style. But Osaka has the biggest heart.	104
Waylon Jennings	We did an album one time called White Mansions, about the civil war, but it was written by a guy from England. His looking at it from over there and it not being a part of his history made it so he could be objective.	104
Wendy Kopp	The U.S. has a long history of walking up to the precipice of rigor and then walking away. As voters, let's support leaders who were courageous enough to make the hard decisions necessary to move our system forward. And as parents, let's put our faith in our educators, our children and tests that hold them to their highest potential.	104
William O. Douglas	Tell the FBI that the kidnappers should pick out a judge that Nixon wants back.	104
David Brinkley	Numerous politicians have seized absolute power and muzzled the press. Never in history has the press seized absolute power and muzzled the politicians.	104
Eugene Kennedy	The truth of faith is a slender, glowing element that runs through even the seemingly ordinary and undramatic moments of existence. Even at low intensity, it is a steady source of illumination. Such religious truth is powerful even when it seems faint, even when it seems obscured by the larger events of history.	104
George Meredith	Memoirs are the backstairs of history.	104
Josh McDowell	If Jesus Christ was who He claimed to be, and He did die on a cross at a point of time in history, then, for all history past and all history future it is relevant because that is the very focal point for forgiveness and redemption.	104
Juan Williams	In the 2000 presidential election, Al Gore got more votes than George W. Bush, but still lost the election. The Supreme Court's ruling in Florida gave Bush that pivotal state, and doomed Gore to lose the Electoral College. That odd scenario - where the candidate with the most votes loses - has happened three times in U.S. history.	104
Katharine Lee Bates	Surely martyrs, irrespective of the special phase of the divine idea for which they gladly give up their bodies to torture and to death, are the truest heroes of history.	104
Keith O'Brien	I know that many of you do wear such a cross of Christ, not in any ostentatious way, not in a way that might harm you at your work or recreation, but a simple indication that you value the role of Jesus Christ in the history of the world, that you are trying to live by Christ's standards in your own daily life.	104
Monica Lewinsky	He could have made it right with the book. But he hasn't. He is a revisionist of history. He has lied.	104
Niger Innis	Understanding the long, sordid history of gun control in America is key to understanding the dangers of disarming.	104
Rosabeth Moss Kanter	Throughout human history, people have developed strong loyalties to traditions, rituals, and symbols. In the most effective organizations, they are not only respected but celebrated. It is no coincidence that the most highly admired corporations are also among the most profitable.	104
Victor Cousin	All truly historical peoples have an idea they must realize, and when they have sufficiently exploited it at home, they export it, in a certain way, by war; they make it tour the world.	104
Wil S. Hylton	In an instant, the law was transformed: from the last passenger on the safe-haven bandwagon to a pioneer into uncharted territory. For the first time in American history, it was not only legal to relinquish a baby; in Nebraska, it was okay to abandon any child of any age for any reason at any time - with the full protection of the law.	104
Amy Bloom	My family kept its history to itself. On the plus side, I didn't have to hear nightmarish stories about the Holocaust, the pogroms, terrible illnesses, painful deaths. My elderly parents never even spoke about their ailments.	104
David Ben-Gurion	Anyone who believes you can't change history has never tried to write his memoirs.	104
Henry Lawson	The children are taught more of the meanest state in Europe than of the country they are born and bred in, despite the singularity of its characteristics, the interest of its history, the rapidity of its advance, and the stupendous promise of its future.	104
Ma Jian	When history is erased, people's moral values are also erased.	104
Michael N. Castle	These fallen heroes represent the character of a nation who has a long history of patriotism and honor - and a nation who has fought many battles to keep our country free from threats of terror.	104
Sarah MacLean	No matter how troubled a character's history, romance novels tell us, love can be built upon it, and happily-ever-after can result. What's more, the darker the past, the brighter the future - and the better the read.	104
William Manchester	An Edwardian lady in full dress was a wonder to behold, and her preparations for viewing were awesome.	104
Catherine Opie	One of the greatest things about being an artist is, as you get older, if you keep working hard in relationship to what you want the world to be and how you want it to become, there is a history of interesting growth that resonates with different moments in your life.	104
Jeff Greenfield	There are good people who are dealt a bad hand by fate, and bad people who live long, comfortable, privileged lives. A small twist of fate can save or end a life; random chance is a permanent, powerful player in each of our lives, and in human history as well.	104
Sarah Churchwell	If history starts as a guest list, it has a tendency to end like the memory of a drunken party: misheard, blurred, fragmentary.	104
Robert Hall	Of all the species of literary composition, perhaps biography is the most delightful. The attention concentrated on one individual gives a unity to the materials of which it is composed, which is wanting in general history.	104
Jerry Costello	This was a tragic event in human history, but by paying tribute to the Armenian community we ensure the lessons of the Armenian genocide are properly understood and acknowledged.	104
James Henry Breasted	It is the recognition of history as a record of human experience which has inevitably resulted in the inclusion of this conquest of civilization within the framework of a complete human history.	104
Confucius	Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.	105
Ayn Rand	We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.	105
George W. Bush	The deliberate and deadly attacks which were carried out yesterday against our country were more than acts of terror. They were acts of war.	105
Harry S Truman	The Marine Corps is the Navy's police force and as long as I am President that is what it will remain. They have a propaganda machine that is almost equal to Stalin's.	105
William Butler Yeats	Why should we honour those that die upon the field of battle? A man may show as reckless a courage in entering into the abyss of himself.	105
Woodrow Wilson	Liberty has never come from Government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it.	105
Anthony Bourdain	Food is everything we are. It's an extension of nationalist feeling, ethnic feeling, your personal history, your province, your region, your tribe, your grandma. It's inseparable from those from the get-go.	105
Barbara Kruger	All the gossip and craziness becomes a kind of sustained narrative which, in turn, can become history. It's scary.	105
Dan Rather	But we cannot rely on memorials and museums alone. We can tell ourselves we will never forget and we likely won't. But we need to make sure that we teach history to those who never had the opportunity to remember in the first place.	105
Edward R. Murrow	We cannot defend freedom abroad by deserting it at home.	105
Emmeline Pankhurst	One baby is a patient baby, and waits indefinitely until its mother is ready to feed it. The other baby is an impatient baby and cries lustily, screams and kicks and makes everybody unpleasant until it is fed. Well, we know perfectly well which baby is attended to first. That is the whole history of politics.	105
George Clooney	I believe in all the qualities of being a liberal. I keep going back to all the great social events in our country's history, starting with the Salem witch trials, where the conservative view was that they're witches and should be burned at the stake, and the liberal view was there's no such thing as witches.	105
Hassan Nasrallah	In man - in the history of mankind, this has happened many times, and occupation leaders hang on to the land that they're occupying. People fight to liberate their land. But in the end, the people's will is what achieves victory.	105
Jack Ma	I want to change history, do something important in my life, and influence individuals like we have with millions of small businesses on Alibaba. Then they love and respect you because you made their life important.	105
John Henrik Clarke	I saw no African people in the printed and illustrated Sunday school lessons. I began to suspect at this early age that someone had distorted the image of my people. My long search for the true history of African people the world over began.	105
Karl Jaspers	The great philosophers and the great works are standards for the selection of what is essential. Everything that we do in studying the history of philosophy ultimately serves their better understanding.	105
Molly Ivins	It is possible to read the history of this country as one long struggle to extend the liberties established in our Constitution to everyone in America.	105
Noah Baumbach	It's funny, I'm very analytical in my real life, but in terms of my films, I try to not analyze them at all and let things just go into them and let them be what they are. I mean, people ask me to this day what 'The Squid and the Whale' stood for, and I have no idea except that it's an exhibit in the Natural History Museum.	105
Phil Anselmo	Music is there for us to explore. To intentionally limit yourself to one, two, or three genres is limitation at its worst. Music is huge; it's a gigantic history lesson, and if you are true music fan or a musician, you should explore it. It's all right there in front of us.	105
Rudy Giuliani	The lesson of 9/11 is that America is truly exceptional. We withstood the worst attack of our history, intended by our enemies to destroy us. Instead, it drew us closer and made us more united. Our love for freedom and one another has given us a strength that surprised even ourselves.	105
Simone Weil	Imagination is always the fabric of social life and the dynamic of history. The influence of real needs and compulsions, of real interests and materials, is indirect because the crowd is never conscious of it.	105
Sonia Sotomayor	It is important for all of us to appreciate where we come from and how that history has really shaped us in ways that we might not understand.	105
Stanley Hauerwas	I am just postmodern enough not to trust 'postmodern' as a description of our times, for it privileges the practices and intellectual formations of modernity. Calling this a postmodern age reproduces the modernist assumption that history must be policed by periods.	105
Thomas Babington Macaulay	I shall cheerfully bear the reproach of having descended below the dignity of history if I can succeed in placing before the English of the nineteenth century a true picture of the life of their ancestors.	105
Thomas Friedman	Optimists are usually wrong. But all the great change in history, positive change, was done by optimists.	105
Thurgood Marshall	Sometimes history takes things into its own hands.	105
Andre Malraux	Then I despair... I remember that all through history, the way of truth and love has always won. There have been murderers and tyrants, and for a time they can seem invincible. But in the end they always fall. Think of it always.	105
David Brin	The worst mistake of first contact, made throughout history by individuals on both sides of every new encounter, has been the unfortunate habit of making assumptions. It often proved fatal.	105
David Dinkins	Well, I'm not sure, but of one thing I am certain: History judges one differently than contemporary observers, and so I think that as time passes, I hope that not me personally so much, but our administration will be seen for some of the things that we accomplished.	105
Eddie Bernice Johnson	Generally speaking, historically in this country, the care of a child has been thought of as female business.	105
Edward Bond	We are still living in the aftershock of Hiroshima, people are still the scars of history.	105
Jacque Fresco	I don't believe in the Great Man theory of science or history. There are no great men, just men standing on the shoulders of other men and what they have done.	105
John W. Gardner	History never looks like history when you are living through it.	105
Michael Eric Dyson	Barack Obama has come closer than any figure in recent history to obeying a direct call of the people to the brutal and bloody fields of political mission.	105
Patrick Stump	'As Long As I Know I'm Getting Paid' is a satire. Lyrically, I want to be direct. With my history in Fall Out Boy, there's some expectation that I'm going to be lyrically obtuse. But that song is a straight-faced satire of consumerism.	105
Rick Santorum	My view is the less the government can do and the more freedom and opportunity you give people, that trusting people and free people and free enterprise - that America has built the greatest country in the history of the world.	105
Rob Sheffield	At an incredibly divisive point in pop history, Donna Summer managed to create an undeniable across-the-board experience of mass pleasure - after 'Bad Girls,' nobody ever tried claiming disco sucked again. It set the template for what Michael Jackson would do a few months later with 'Off The Wall.'	105
Steven Johnson	What you end up seeing when you look at history is that people who have been good at pushing the boundaries of possibility, and exploring those frontiers of good ideas and innovations, have rarely done it in moments of great inspiration. They don't just have a brilliant breakthrough idea out of nowhere and leap ahead of everyone else.	105
Alice Temperley	My favourite finds are often antique pieces with a history.	105
Christoph Waltz	By looking into more details of American history, we can make more sense of what's happening today.	105
Mary Harris Jones	The strike of the miners in Arizona was one of the most remarkable strikes in the history of the American labor movement. Its peaceful character, its successful outcome, were due to that most remarkable character, Governor Hunt.	105
P. Chidambaram	If you go back to any period in India's history, all the hard decisions this country had to take were taken when the Congress was in power.	105
Richard Le Gallienne	All religions have periods in their history which are looked back to with retrospective fear and trembling as eras of persecution, and each religion has its own book of martyrs.	105
Robert M. Gates	If Iraq and Afghanistan have taught us anything in recent history, it is the unpredictability of war and that these things are easier to get into than to get out of, and, frankly, the facile way in which too many people talk about, 'Well, let's just go attack them.'	105
Shekhar Kapur	I had no interest in history classes. In fact, I used to sleep in history classes, I used to bunk classes. But that is how students are supposed to be, no? I developed an interest in history much later. I have made a few films based on historical facts.	105
Enoch Powell	History is littered with wars which everybody knew would never happen.	105
James Howard Kunstler	History is moving the furniture around in the house of mankind just about everywhere but the U.S.A. Things have changed, except here, where people come and go through the rooms of state, and everything looks shabbier by the day, and lethargy eats away at the upholstery like an acid fog, and the walls reverberate with meaningless oratory.	105
Mary Douglas	The history of the Church of Rome is a constant leakage of members into such breakaway cults, which go on splitting.	105
Rachel Johnson	With so many forty- and fifty something mums and dads in Converse stalking the streets, I can see why there's a slew of books about the menopause and middle age, the most recent addition being David Bainbridge's plucky, glass-half-full meditation or, as he calls it, 'natural history.'	105
Jerzy Kosinski	I look back into past history, the stored experiences or products of the imagination. I look no further forward than the evening.	105
Lance Morrow	The real 1960s began on the afternoon of November 22, 1963. It came to seem that Kennedy's murder opened some malign trap door in American culture, and the wild bats flapped out.	105
Murray Gell-Mann	So the old Copenhagen interpretation needs to be generalized, needs to be replaced by something that can be used for the whole universe, and can be used also in cases where there is plenty of individuality and history.	105
Jackson Browne	Right around the end of the fifties, college students and young people in general, began to realize that this music was almost like a history of our country - this music contained the real history of the people of this country.	105
Marge Piercy	Never doubt that you can change history. You already have.	105
George Orwell	The very concept of objective truth is fading out of the world. Lies will pass into history.	106
Henry A. Kissinger	It was a Greek tragedy. Nixon was fulfilling his own nature. Once it started it could not end otherwise.	106
Margaret Thatcher	A world without nuclear weapons would be less stable and more dangerous for all of us.	106
Percy Bysshe Shelley	History is a cyclic poem written by time upon the memories of man.	106
Dante Alighieri	Be as a tower firmly set; Shakes not its top for any blast that blows.	106
Julius Caesar	I came, I saw, I conquered.	106
B. C. Forbes	History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats.	106
Benjamin Harrison	There never has been a time in our history when work was so abundant or when wages were as high, whether measured by the currency in which they are paid or by their power to supply the necessaries and comforts of life.	106
Bill Bryson	The world at night, for much of history, was a very dark place indeed.	106
Brian Wilson	I have to tell you that J.S. Bach was easily the greatest musical innovator in the history of the world. He was so advanced for his time. There's a spiritual depth to his music. You can listen to it and it's like meditation.	106
Dag Hammarskjold	Those who invoke history will certainly be heard by history. And they will have to accept its verdict.	106
Daisaku Ikeda	History is filled with tragic examples of wars that result from diplomatic impasse. Whether in our local communities or in international relations, the skillful use of our communicative capacities to negotiate and resolve differences is the first evidence of human wisdom.	106
David Cameron	After the Berlin Wall came down I visited that city and I will never forget it. The abandoned checkpoints. The sense of excitement about the future. The knowledge that a great continent was coming together. Healing those wounds of our history is the central story of the European Union.	106
Douglas Rushkoff	In the digital universe, our personal history and its sense of narrative is succeeded by our social networking profile - a snapshot of the current moment. The information itself - our social graph of friends and likes - is a product being sold to market researchers in order to better predict and guide our futures.	106
Edward Kennedy	Dad, I'm in some trouble. There's been an accident and you're going to hear all sorts of things about me from now on. Terrible things.	106
Friedrich August von Hayek	I do not think it is an exaggeration to say history is largely a history of inflation, usually inflations engineered by governments for the gain of governments.	106
Haile Selassie	If a strong government finds that it can, with impunity, destroy a weak people, then the hour has struck for that weak people to appeal to the League of Nations to give its judgment in all freedom. God and history will remember your judgment.	106
Hanna Rosin	NASA projects often have romantic names that link into a long history of exploration and adventure: Atlantis and Discovery, for example.	106
Herman Cain	The Democrats co-opted the credit for the Civil Rights Act of 1964. But if you go back and look at the history, a larger percentage of Republicans voted for that than did Democrats. But a Democrat president signed it, so they co-opted credit for having passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965.	106
John Henrik Clarke	History is not everything, but it is a starting point. History is a clock that people use to tell their political and cultural time of day. It is a compass they use to find themselves on the map of human geography. It tells them where they are but, more importantly, what they must be.	106
Kathryn Lasky	I think the Lewis and Clark Expedition was the greatest undertaking in American History. I think landing a man on the moon pales next to it.	106
Kevin Rudd	We are so fortunate, as Australians, to have among us the oldest continuing cultures in human history. Cultures that link our nation with deepest antiquity. We have Aboriginal rock art in the Kimberley that is as ancient as the great Palaeolithic cave paintings at Altamira and Lascaux in Europe.	106
Kristen Wiig	I'm not as much a history person as an art person, but I mean, you can read history through art.	106
Ludwig von Mises	The state can be and has often been in the course of history the main source of mischief and disaster.	106
Monica Crowley	Two famous happy warriors - Reagan and his political soulmate, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher - knew they were fighting their own ideological and external wars. But they did so with the sunny dispositions and positive outlooks of those who knew they were on the right side of history.	106
Nadine Gordimer	The creative act is not pure. History evidences it. Sociology extracts it. The writer loses Eden, writes to be read and comes to realize that he is answerable.	106
Nikita Khrushchev	Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!	106
Noah Feldman	The rise of the presidency began with the Louisiana Purchase, which in 1803 doubled the land mass of the United States. History taught the framers that, just as Rome changed from republic to empire with conquest of new lands, territorial acquisition would lead to the centralization of political power.	106
Penn Jillette	The secret truth of 'Celebrity Apprentice' is that it isn't very hard... 'Celebrity Apprentice' is easy like junior high is easy. All the arithmetic, the creative writing and the history are super simple, but like junior high, you do that easy work surrounded by people who are full-tilt, hormone-raging bug nutty.	106
Phil Collins	I started drumming around the same time I came across this part of American history. But there seemed to be a way forward playing drums. There didn't seem to be a way forward being fascinated by a piece of history.	106
Pierre de Coubertin	Holding an Olympic Games means evoking history.	106
Potter Stewart	The 4th Amendment and the personal rights it secures have a long history. At the very core stands the right of a man to retreat into his own home and there be free from unreasonable governmental intrusion.	106
Rand Paul	The great and abiding lesson of American history, particularly the cold war, is that the engine of capitalism, the individual, is mightier than any collective.	106
Reza Aslan	In the 5,000-year history of Jewish thought, the notion of a God-man is completely anathema to everything Judaism stands for.	106
Robert Kiyosaki	History reminds us that dictators and despots arise during times of severe economic crisis.	106
Salma Hayek	I have never denied my background or my culture. I have taught my child to embrace her Mexican heritage, to love my first language, Spanish, to learn about Mexican history, music, folk art, food, and even the Mexican candy I grew up with.	106
Wendell Willkie	History shows that our way of life is the stronger way. From it has come more wealth, more industry, more happiness, more human enlightenment than from any other way.	106
Alfred de Vigny	On the day when man told the story of his life to man, history was born.	106
Bruce Feiler	Knowing more about family history is the single biggest predictor of a child's emotional well-being. Grandparents can play a special role in this process, too.	106
George Wald	Since we have had a history, men have pursued an ideal of immortality.	106
Gloria Estefan	As an immigrant, I appreciate, far more than the average American, the liberties we have in this country. Silence is a big enemy of morality. I don't want our blunders in history to get repeated.	106
Jared Diamond	Introspection and preserved writings give us far more insight into the ways of past humans than we have into the ways of past dinosaurs. For that reason, I'm optimistic that we can eventually arrive at convincing explanations for these broadest patterns of human history.	106
Jerry Saltz	I love Rauschenberg. I love that he created a turning point in visual history, that he redefined the idea of beauty, that he combined painting, sculpture, photography, and everyday life with such gall, and that he was interested in, as he put it, 'the ability to conceive failure as progress.'	106
Jorge Ramos	My only advice is, follow your dream and do whatever you like to do the most. I chose journalism because I wanted to be in the places where history was being made.	106
Kim Il-sung	The oppressed peoples can liberate themselves only through struggle. This is a simple and clear truth confirmed by history.	106
Mahmoud Darwish	History laughs at both the victim and the aggressor.	106
Mark Helprin	The arts community is generally dominated by liberals because if you are concerned mainly with painting or sculpture, you don't have time to study how the world works. And if you have no understanding of economics, strategy, history and politics, then naturally you would be a liberal.	106
Steve Ballmer	I come back to the same thing: We've got the greatest pipeline in the company's history in the next 12 months, and we've had the most amazing financial results possible over the last five years, and we're predicting being back at double-digit revenue growth in fiscal year '06.	106
Martin Filler	Few developments central to the history of art have been so misrepresented or misunderstood as the brief, brave, glorious, doomed life of the Bauhaus - the epochally influential German art, architecture, crafts, and design school that was founded in Goethe's sleepy hometown of Weimar in 1919.	106
Scott Anderson	So many times in the history of Mormon polygamy, the outside world thought it had the movement on the ropes only to see it flourish anew.	106
Stephen Harper	I just think it would be unrealistic to suggest we're going to eliminate every last domestic insurgent in Afghanistan. Certainly, the history of the country would indicate that's not a very realistic objective, and I think we have to have realistic objectives.	106
James Howard Kunstler	History is merciless. History doesn't care if we pound our society down a rat hole. It's up to us to make more intelligent choices about how we live!	106
Marla Gibbs	We've got to know our history. We have to be able to bring our children to a place that they can be proud of.	106
Sheldon Whitehouse	How arrogant - how very far from humility - would be the self-satisfied, smug assurance that God, a tidy-up-after-us God will come and clean up our mess? Hope for a nanny God, who will with a miracle grant us amnesty from our folly - that's not aligned with either history or the text of the Bible.	106
Stefan Zweig	Often the presence of mind and energy of a person remote from the spotlight decide the course of history for centuries to come.	106
Abba Eban	History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives.	106
Franklin D. Roosevelt	The point in history at which we stand is full of promise and danger. The world will either move forward toward unity and widely shared prosperity - or it will move apart.	107
Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel	The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom.	107
Napoleon Bonaparte	History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.	107
Neil deGrasse Tyson	I know of no time in human history where ignorance was better than knowledge.	107
John Adams	Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it.	107
Queen Elizabeth II	I cannot lead you into battle. I do not give you laws or administer justice but I can do something else - I can give my heart and my devotion to these old islands and to all the peoples of our brotherhood of nations.	107
Arnold J. Toynbee	History not used is nothing, for all intellectual life is action, like practical life, and if you don't use the stuff well, it might as well be dead.	107
Barney Frank	What would be the nicest thing I could say about Newt Gingrich? He may be one of the great supporters of the humanities, because you have people who don't want to study the social sciences, because it's not profitable, and now Newt, as the highest-paid historian in American history, may be an encouragement to people to study history.	107
Ben Bernanke	The lesson of history is that you do not get a sustained economic recovery as long as the financial system is in crisis.	107
Cory Booker	In America we have a Declaration of Independence, but our history, our advancements, our global strength all point to an American declaration of interdependence.	107
David Crystal	English has been this vacuum cleaner of a language, because of its history meeting up with the Romans and then the Danes, the Vikings and then the French and then the Renaissance with all the Latin and Greek and Hebrew in the background.	107
Edward Gibbon	History is little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.	107
Ellen Glasgow	No matter how vital experience might be while you lived it, no sooner was it ended and dead than it became as lifeless as the piles of dry dust in a school history book.	107
Etta James	You can't fake this music. You might be a great singer or a great musician but, in the need, that's got nothing to do with it. It's how you connect to the songs and to the history behind them.	107
Learned Hand	No doubt one may quote history to support any cause, as the devil quotes scripture.	107
Michael Phelps	I think sometimes I guess you see records, say you want to get there and use that as motivation. In a way, it's kind of cool if there is a possibility to rewrite history and be up there with the greats of Olympic history.	107
Oliver Stone	I will come out with my interpretation. If I'm wrong, fine. It will become part of the debris of history, part of the give and take.	107
Paul Johnson	Marxism, Freudianism, global warming. These are proof - of which history offers so many examples - that people can be suckers on a grand scale. To their fanatical followers they are a substitute for religion. Global warming, in particular, is a creed, a faith, a dogma that has little to do with science.	107
Simon Wiesenthal	The history of man is the history of crimes, and history can repeat. So information is a defence. Through this we can build, we must build, a defence against repetition.	107
Steve Wynn	Government has never increased the standard of living of one single human being in civilization's history. For some reason that simple truth has evaded everybody.	107
William Gibson	I don't think nostalgia is a healthy modality. But nostalgia and a sense of history are not the same thing. Nostalgia is a dysfunction of the historical impulse, or a corruption of the historical impulse.	107
William Morris	History has remembered the kings and warriors, because they destroyed; art has remembered the people, because they created.	107
Alan Moore	As people get more desperate, history suggests that they're not going to rise in a mighty proletarian tidal wave and wash away their oppressors. They're gonna turn on each other.	107
Anselm Kiefer	What does the artist do? He draws connections. He ties the invisible threads between things. He dives into history, be it the history of mankind, the geological history of the Earth or the beginning and end of the manifest cosmos.	107
Boris Yeltsin	There were no strategic mistakes that could affect Russia's history and it further development. No, there were no such mistakes. Tactical errors were made in some less significant options, problems and so on. But, on the whole, Russia embarked on a correct path and it changed.	107
Gillian Anderson	I was a daydreamer, and there is a lot of history and geography and science I missed out on because I was in my head. And I regret that.	107
John le Carre	History keeps her secrets longer than most of us. But she has one secret that I will reveal to you tonight in the greatest confidence. Sometimes there are no winners at all. And sometimes nobody needs to lose.	107
Suzy Menkes	There are some designers who flash and burn - Courreges is an example of that. But he still marked fashion history. And I don't think that longevity is always a badge of honor. Modern brand management means that we are always celebrating birthdays, when what is exciting about fashion is innovation, not repetition.	107
Tariq Ramadan	South Africa never leaves one indifferent. Its history, its population, its landscapes and cultures - all speak to the visitor, to the student, to the friend of Africa.	107
Lynn Abbey	My writing has to support more than my research habit, but I love to curl up with a book about some dusty corner of history.	107
Sun Myung Moon	Throughout history no one has suffered more than God. He has suffered because his own children fell away from him. Ever since the Fall, God has been working tirelessly for the restoration of mankind. People do not know this brokenhearted aspect of God.	107
James Howard Kunstler	Neurologically, people have a need to feel oriented, to know where they are, not just in terms of a compass and not just in terms of geography, but in terms of their culture and history. To be informed about where they're coming from and to have some glimpse towards a hopeful future.	107
Marc Newson	You know that's history, that's why some people say that my stuff is retro, but I don't agree.	107
Abba Eban	I think that this is the first war in history that on the morrow the victors sued for peace and the vanquished called for unconditional surrender.	107
Jacques Chirac	The construction of Europe is an art. It is the art of the possible.	107
Thomas Jefferson	I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.	108
Aldous Huxley	That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.	108
Angela Davis	Well I teach in the History of Consciousness Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz. So that's my primary work. I lecture on various campuses and in various communities across the country and other parts of the world.	108
Charles Bukowski	We have wasted History like a bunch of drunks shooting dice back in the men's crapper of the local bar.	108
Alfred A. Montapert	The majority see the obstacles; the few see the objectives; history records the successes of the latter, while oblivion is the reward of the former.	108
Arthur C. Clarke	The greatest tragedy in mankind's entire history may be the hijacking of morality by religion.	108
Barry Goldwater	Hubert Humphrey talks so fast that listening to him is like trying to read Playboy magazine with your wife turning the pages.	108
Bhumibol Adulyadej	In Thailand's history there have been dissensions from time to time, but in general, unity has prevailed.	108
Chiang Kai-shek	In the early days of the Russian Revolution in 1917, I was completely in sympathy with it. I felt that it established a new era in the history of the modern world. I was so overwhelmed by it that, if people made any unfriendly comment, I would vigorously defend it. If people condemned the Communist party, I would speak in its defense.	108
Eddie Izzard	I'm quite good at taking in information so I voraciously inhale Wikipedia - which may have some things wrong in it, but I think is generally more information than we had before. Last tour we didn't have Wikipedia. And then Discovery Channel and History Channel. I can take it in and retain what I think are the most important facts.	108
Ferdinand Marcos	History should not be left to the historians. Rather, be like Churchill. Make history, and then write it.	108
Homaro Cantu	From food trucks to hot dog stands to county fair favorites, 'street food' has enjoyed a rich and storied history in American cuisine. However, street food has been around for thousands of years. In fact, street food is believed to have originated as far back as Ancient Rome.	108
Hugo Black	In my view, far from deserving condemnation for their courageous reporting, the New York Times, the Washington Post and other newspapers should be commended for serving the purpose that the Founding Fathers saw so clearly.	108
Idris Elba	If you go to Africa and you're white, you're probably not going to get that much work either. But the fact is that there is a longer history of black integration in the U.S. I don't have any resentment about this: I did the maths, calculated it against my ambition and decided to leave England.	108
James K. Polk	Although... the Chief Magistrate must almost of necessity be chosen by a party and stand pledged to its principles and measures, yet in his official action he should not be the President of a party only, but of the whole people of the United States.	108
Mason Cooley	Psychology keeps trying to vindicate human nature. History keeps undermining the effort.	108
Natasha Trethewey	People always want to be on the right side of history; it is a lot easier to say, 'What an atrocity that was' then it is to say, 'What an atrocity this is.'	108
Nicolas Chamfort	Love is more pleasant than marriage for the same reason that novels are more amusing than history.	108
Octavia Butler	I wanted to write a novel that would make others feel the history: the pain and fear that black people have had to live through in order to endure.	108
Prince Charles	Do you seriously expect me to be the first Prince of Wales in history not to have a mistress?	108
Rose George	Rules governing defecation, hygiene, and pollution exist in every culture at every period in history. It may in fact be the foundation of civilization: What is toilet training if not the first attempt to turn a child into an acceptable member of society?	108
Samantha Power	Throughout history, when societies face tough economic times, we have seen democratic reforms deferred, decreased trust in government, persecution of minority groups, and a general shrinking of the democratic space.	108
Thierry Henry	I'm obsessed by the idea of making my mark on history. And Arsenal is my paradise.	108
Valentina Tereshkova	I am deeply grieved by the loss of the crew of Columbia. I express my sincere condolences to the families and friends of the astronauts. I believe that their names will remain as the bright sparkling stars in the universe and will light the way for those who will follow them on the difficult roads of space exploration.	108
Wendell Berry	I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief... For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.	108
William Makepeace Thackeray	If a secret history of books could be written, and the author's private thoughts and meanings noted down alongside of his story, how many insipid volumes would become interesting, and dull tales excite the reader!	108
Xi Jinping	During the long process of history, by relying on our own diligence, courage and wisdom, Chinese people have opened up a good and beautiful home where all ethnic groups live in harmony and fostered an excellent culture that never fades.	108
Ashwin Sanghi	It is not history, theology or mythology that interest me. It is the fact that history, theology or mythology could have alternative interpretations or explanations. I try to connect the dots between the past and the present.	108
Franklin Graham	There is no question that America has been a nation that has been blessed by almighty God. There is no other nation in the history of mankind that has done what His nation has done - and it's because of God's hand and His blessing.	108
James Dobson	Prayer and dependence on God has been our history. How unfortunate it is now that an unaccountable and unelected and misguided judge from Wisconsin, Judge Barbara Crabb, has declared National Days of Prayer - established by the Congress - to be unconstitutional.	108
Joe Torre	When I became the manager of the New York Yankees, it was an opportunity to realize my lifelong dream of winning the World Series. We were fortunate enough to succeed in our first season in 1996, and in the years that followed, we wrote some great new chapters in Yankee history.	108
Philip Treacy	In Rome, I particularly love the history, churches, sculptures and architecture and the fact that you can walk along a tiny cobbled street and turn the corner to find the Trevi Fountain. London is evocative of other eras and full of history.	108
Sloane Crosley	Our culture's obsession with vintage objects has rendered us unable to separate history from nostalgia. People want heart. They want a chaser of emotion with their aesthetics.	108
Stewart Udall	In the first weeks after Hiroshima, extravagant statements by President Truman and other official spokesmen for the U.S. government transformed the inception of the atomic age into the most mythologized event in American history.	108
Afrika Bambaataa	November is Hip-Hop History Month, where we give celebration to what hip hop has done to bring together people of the world, people of all nationalities, young people, all the political systems and politicians on the planet.	108
Robert Smithson	History is representational, while time is abstract; both of these artifices may be found in museums, where they span everybody's own vacancy.	108
Arlo Guthrie	At the same time the folk boom was happening, the civil rights movement was happening, the anti-war movement was happening, the ban the bomb movement was happening, the environmental movement was happening. There was suddenly a generation ready to change the course of history.	108
Harry S Truman	Nixon is one of the few in the history of this country to run for high office talking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time and lying out of both sides.	109
Karl Marx	Revolutions are the locomotives of history.	109
Thomas Sowell	Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good.	109
Kofi Annan	More than ever before in human history, we share a common destiny. We can master it only if we face it together. And that, my friends, is why we have the United Nations.	109
Herbert Hoover	I'm the only person of distinction who has ever had a depression named for him.	109
Morgan Freeman	I don't want a Black History Month. Black history is American history.	109
William F. Buckley, Jr.	A Conservative is a fellow who is standing athwart history yelling 'Stop!'	109
Alfred North Whitehead	No period of history has ever been great or ever can be that does not act on some sort of high, idealistic motives, and idealism in our time has been shoved aside, and we are paying the penalty for it.	109
Anne Lamott	We can't understand when we're pregnant, or when our siblings are expecting, how profound it is to have a shared history with a younger generation: blood, genes, humor. It means we were actually here, on Earth, for a time - like the Egyptians with their pyramids, only with children.	109
Bernard Baruch	If the history of the past fifty years teaches us anything, it is that peace does not follow disarmament - disarmament follows peace.	109
Bill Walton	We can never thank David Stern enough. His vision to use basketball to improve the quality of our lives to make this world a better and saner place, that guy, is the most important man in the history of basketball.	109
Black Elk	If you will read again what is written, you will see how it was.	109
Edward Gibbon	History is indeed little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.	109
Hilaire Belloc	Every major question in history is a religious question. It has more effect in molding life than nationalism or a common language.	109
James Monroe	If we look to the history of other nations, ancient or modern, we find no example of a growth so rapid, so gigantic, of a people so prosperous and happy.	109
Lewis Black	The worst thing about Halloween is, of course, candy corn. It's unbelievable to me. Candy corn is the only candy in the history of America that's never been advertised. And there's a reason. All of the candy corn that was ever made was made in 1911. And so, since nobody eats that stuff, every year there's a ton of it left over.	109
Marco Rubio	From tea parties to the election in Massachusetts, we are witnessing the single greatest political pushback in American history.	109
Mark McKinnon	As history has repeatedly proven, one trade tariff begets another, then another - until you've got a full-blown trade war. No one ever wins, and consumers always get screwed.	109
Max Lucado	God will use whatever he wants to display his glory. Heavens and stars. History and nations. People and problems.	109
Rand Paul	As president, I would promote a Fair and Flat Tax plan, known as the 'EZ Tax.' My tax plan would be the largest tax cut in American history, reforming individual, business, and worker taxes.	109
Daniel H. Wilson	The complicated, ambiguous milieu of human contact is being replaced with simple, scalable equations. We maintain thousands more friends than any human being in history, but at the cost of complexity and depth. Every minute spent online is a minute of face-to-face time lost.	109
James Altucher	Don't stay at the job for safe salary increases over time. That will never get you where you want - freedom from financial worry. Only free time, imagination, creativity, and an ability to disappear will help you deliver value that nobody ever delivered before in the history of mankind.	109
Jeb Bush	We awoke one morning in September, and the world lurched on its axis.	109
Jacques Chirac	Terrorism takes us back to ages we thought were long gone if we allow it a free hand to corrupt democratic societies and destroy the basic rules of international life.	109
Lin-Manuel Miranda	History is so subjective. The teller of it determines it.	110
Margaret Mead	Thanks to television, for the first time the young are seeing history made before it is censored by their elders.	110
Carlos Santana	If our history can challenge the next wave of musicians to keep moving and changing, to keep spiritually hungry and horny, that's what it's all about.	110
Dita Von Teese	Well, when I was fifteen years old I worked in a lingerie store and that's how I feel in love with vintage lingerie because I wanted to know the history of it.	110
Greg LeMond	I want to tell the world of cycling to please join me in telling Pat McQuaid to resign. I have never seen such an abuse of power in cycling's history - resign, Pat, if you love cycling. Resign even if you hate the sport.	110
Harold Wilson	The main essentials of a successful prime minister are sleep and a sense of history.	110
Jeff Kinney	Looking back, I realize my favorite stories weren't in books, they were in comics. On top of being a history enthusiast, my father was also a comics fan, and he kept his stash in the top drawer of his dresser, in easy reach of a kid making a beeline to the bathroom.	110
Ken Kesey	Nowhere else in history has there ever been a flag that stands for the right to burn itself. This is the fractal of our flag. It stands for the right to destroy itself.	110
Najib Razak	Detention without trial is history in Malaysia.	110
Philip Zimbardo	What happens when good people are put into an evil place? Do they triumph or does the situation dominate their past history and morality?	110
Reinhold Niebuhr	Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore we must be saved by faith.	110
Scott Walker	What has made America amazing has been the fact that throughout our history, throughout the more than 200 years of our history, there have been men and women of courage who stood up and decided it was more important to look out for the future of their children and their grandchildren than their own political futures.	110
Simon Wiesenthal	When history looks back, I want people to know that the Nazis could not kill millions of people with impunity.	110
Walter Scott	A lawyer without history or literature is a mechanic, a mere working mason; if he possesses some knowledge of these, he may venture to call himself an architect.	110
Shreya Ghoshal	If given a chance, I would really want to explore the monuments in Delhi, like Qutub Minar and the forts. I have been there as a child, but now I want to go back and understand the history and significance behind them. We take all of these things for granted in life.	110
John Foster Dulles	I wouldn't attach too much importance to these student riots. I remember when I was a student at the Sorbonne in Paris, I used to go out and riot occasionally.	110
David Attenborough	In the old days... it was a basic, cardinal fact that producers didn't have opinions. When I was producing natural history programmes, I didn't use them as vehicles for my own opinion. They were factual programmes.	111
James A. Baldwin	People are trapped in history and history is trapped in them.	111
Mattie Stepanek	While we are living in the present, we must celebrate life every day, knowing that we are becoming history with every work, every action, every deed.	111
Queen Elizabeth II	Madam President, speaking here in Dublin Castle it is impossible to ignore the weight of history, as it was yesterday when you and I laid wreaths at the Garden of Remembrance.	111
Corazon Aquino	The nation was awakened by that deafening shot.	111
Daisaku Ikeda	I believe that we must maintain pride in the knowledge that the actions we take, based on our own decisions and choices as individuals, link directly to the magnificent challenge of transforming human history.	111
Gerald R. Ford	History and experience tell us that moral progress comes not in comfortable and complacent times, but out of trial and confusion.	111
Gustave Flaubert	Our ignorance of history causes us to slander our own times.	111
Joan Rivers	Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is God's gift, that's why we call it the present.	111
Lord Acton	And remember, where you have a concentration of power in a few hands, all too frequently men with the mentality of gangsters get control. History has proven that.	111
Martin Freeman	You absorb 2,000 years of history just by being near the Thames.	111
Neil Peart	The Seven Cities of Gold always fascinated me. Southwestern U.S. history especially fascinates me. The whole spur of the Spanish exploration of the Southwestern U.S. was the search for these mythical Seven Cities of Gold.	111
Norman Cousins	A library, to modify the famous metaphor of Socrates, should be the delivery room for the birth of ideas - a place where history comes to life.	111
Oscar de la Renta	We live in an era of globalization and the era of the woman. Never in the history of the world have women been more in control of their destiny.	111
Seth Godin	The Net is not television. It is the finest direct-marketing mechanism in the history of mankind. It is direct mail with free stamps, and it allows you to create richer and deeper relationships than you've ever been able to create before.	111
Troy Polamalu	I am a National Football League player of American Samoan heritage. Because of my status as a professional athlete, I have been blessed to play a role in educating players and fans about the culture and history of America's southernmost territory.	111
Amy Tan	At the beginning of my career as a writer, I felt I knew nothing of Chinese culture. I was writing about emotional confusion with my mother related to our different beliefs. Hers was based in family history, which I didn't know anything about. I always felt hesitant in talking about Chinese culture and American culture.	111
Apolo Ohno	Do I feel any pressure as the most decorated Winter Olympian in American history? None at all. The only pressures that I know I face are those of how to pay it forward: How can I continually make a positive impact in people's lives, help others achieve their dreams, create their own Olympic mindset, creating champions within themselves?	111
Ashwin Sanghi	I believe that patterns tend to repeat themselves and there are connections between the past and the present. There is the old proverb that reads, 'You can't know where you're going if you don't know where you've been'. For me, history is like that. When you take history and combine it with myth, then you get mystery.	111
Barbara Tuchman	The fleet sailed to its war base in the North Sea, headed not so much for some rendezvous with glory as for rendezvous with discretion.	111
Edwin Hubbel Chapin	Skepticism has never founded empires, established principals, or changed the world's heart. The great doers in history have always been people of faith.	111
Radhanath Swami	Whereas religious prayers sing of peace and harmony, religion has divided human beings through an atrocious history of enmity and bloodshed. Yet, behind the veil of superficiality and hypocrisy, I always believed in the inherent beauty of God that lies at the essence of all true spiritual paths.	111
Carl Sagan	Personally, I would be delighted if there were a life after death, especially if it permitted me to continue to learn about this world and others, if it gave me a chance to discover how history turns out.	112
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow	If we could read the secret history of our enemies we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.	112
Robert Kennedy	The United States was born in revolution and nurtured by struggle. Throughout our history, the American people have befriended and supported all those who seek independence and a better way of life.	112
Susan B. Anthony	Women, we might as well be dogs baying the moon as petitioners without the right to vote!	112
Vladimir Putin	History proves that all dictatorships, all authoritarian forms of government are transient. Only democratic systems are not transient. Whatever the shortcomings, mankind has not devised anything superior.	112
Benito Mussolini	Fascism is a religion. The twentieth century will be known in history as the century of Fascism.	112
Al Sharpton	The resignation of Attorney General Eric Holder is met with both pride and disappointment by the Civil Rights community. We are proud that he has been the best Attorney General on Civil Rights in U.S. history and disappointed because he leaves at a critical time when we need his continued diligence most.	112
Corazon Aquino	It is not I who have been consigned to the bedroom of history.	112
Edward R. Murrow	Difficulty is the excuse history never accepts.	112
Greg Graffin	If you go back far enough and get a wider enough picture of history, we have let go of many things that follow a religious narrative. We don't burn witches anymore. Most people would consider that barbaric. We don't sacrifice human beings, which was a religious act practiced by numerous cultures on this planet.	112
Nikita Khrushchev	The more bombers, the less room for doves of peace.	112
Paul Gauguin	The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art's audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.	112
Shigeru Miyamoto	I think that the entertainment industry itself has a history of chasing success. Any time a hit product comes out, all the other companies start chasing after that success and trying to recreate it by putting out similar products.	112
V. S. Naipaul	It's very attractive to people to be a victim. Instead of having to think out the whole situation, about history and your group and what you are doing... if you begin from the point of view of being a victim, you've got it half-made. I mean intellectually.	112
Zaha Hadid	It's very important for cities all around the world to reinvent themselves, and Glasgow is a good example of that. The Scots are very nice. I don't think they are burdened by their history.	112
Jon Meacham	The fact is that America has been at her most prosperous when government and the private sector have been not at war, but in a wary, if often underplayed, alliance. History is unmistakable on this point.	112
Liya Kebede	If nothing else, I want women to understand that they are powerful. If you look back at history, in almost every big moment, in every leap forward, you find ordinary women at the core. We have more ability to make changes in the world than we can imagine if we have the courage to try.	112
Luigi Pirandello	The history of mankind is the history of ideas.	112
Benito Mussolini	It is humiliating to remain with our hands folded while others write history. It matters little who wins. To make a people great it is necessary to send them to battle even if you have to kick them in the pants. That is what I shall do.	113
John Maynard Keynes	Ideas shape the course of history.	113
Clarence Darrow	History repeats itself, and that's one of the things that's wrong with history.	113
Eddie Vedder	Life moves fast. As much as you can learn from your history, you have to move forward.	113
Eric Schmidt	If you think about the history of the PC industry, the PC industry has essentially been nothing but acquisitions by one company or another. Dell is the outlier. Dell built its own culture. They automated themselves to be the most efficient manufacturer.	113
Erica Jong	People always think that history proceeds in a straight line. It doesn't. Social attitudes don't change in a straight line. There's always a backlash against progressive ideas.	113
F. Sionil Jose	All through history, a nation or a civilization's enduring glory is articulated by its mega constructions - the pyramids, the lofty cathedrals of the Christian world.	113
Garth Brooks	There's a difference between knowing what's on the page in a history book and actually feeling that page have curves and valleys.	113
Jawaharlal Nehru	A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new; when an age ends; and when the soul of a nation long suppressed finds utterance.	113
Leonardo DiCaprio	I realise that I do not change the course of history. I am an actor, I do a movie, that's the end of it. You have to realise we are just clowns for hire. After I had success it was great, at first, not to worry about money. It was on my mind when I was growing up.	113
Louis D. Brandeis	Fear of serious injury alone cannot justify oppression of free speech and assembly. Men feared witches and burnt women. It is the function of speech to free men from the bondage of irrational fears.	113
Moliere	All the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill the history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill at dancing.	113
Octavio Paz	The truth is that the history of Mexico is a history in the image of its geography: abrupt and tortuous. Each historical period is like a plateau surrounded by tall mountains and separated from the other plateaus by precipices and divides.	113
Paul Mooney	I could drop dead tomorrow, the truth will be here. Truth is forever; when you read our history, truth is forever, and it always outs itself.	113
Reza Aslan	In the history of the prophetic biblical canon that starts with Genesis, the Koran is by far the most tolerant of the views of other religions.	113
Stephen Kinzer	Conflict with the United States is one of the overwhelming facts of Latin American history.	113
Will Durant	One of the lessons of history is that nothing is often a good thing to do and always a clever thing to say.	113
Jon Meacham	From Jefferson to Jackson to Lincoln to FDR to Reagan, every great president inspires enormous affection and enormous hostility. We'll all be much saner, I think, if we remember that history is full of surprises and things that seemed absolutely certain one day are often unimaginable the next.	113
Rob Sheffield	Sending Paris Hilton to jail for being the most loathed celeprosy lesion in the history of the species seems like a happening idea at first - forty-five days at Century Regional Detention Center is so the new thirty days at Promises Malibu! But it sets a dangerous precedent to jail celebs just because someone hates them.	113
Ron Fournier	Part of the problem is voters know relatively little about Romney. And some of what they know about him complicates his task: Romney has a history of flip-flopping on issues, he's extraordinarily wealthy, and he can be tone-deaf about what moves voters. He just doesn't seem comfortable in his skin.	113
John Ridley	For children, diversity needs to be real and not merely relegated to learning the names of the usual suspects during Black History Month or enjoying south-of-the-border cuisine on Cinco de Mayo. It means talking to and spending time with kids not like them so that they may discover those kids are in fact just like them.	113
Robert Mugabe	Was it not enough punishment and suffering in history that we were uprooted and made helpless slaves not only in new colonial outposts but also domestically.	114
Tom Stoppard	I think... the history of civilization is an attempt to codify, classify and categorize aspects of human nature that hardly lend themselves to that process.	114
Al Gore	Civil disobedience has an honourable history, and when the urgency and moral clarity cross a certain threshold, then I think that civil disobedience is quite understandable, and it has a role to play.	114
Aleister Crowley	The people who have really made history are the martyrs.	114
Arnold J. Toynbee	History is a vision of God's creation on the move.	114
Evita Peron	Time is my greatest enemy.	114
Natalie Dormer	I've always been a history lover. I've spent a lot of recreational time walking around historical castles and estates, in Britain and Europe, and so I know what the real thing looks like.	114
Neale Donald Walsch	It is the great sadness of our species that we have not found a way to eliminate the conflict and to eliminate violence as a device to resolve our conflicts throughout the entire history of the human race.	114
Shimon Peres	The Jews' greatest contribution to history is dissatisfaction! We're a nation born to be discontented. Whatever exists we believe can be changed for the better.	114
Tacitus	Be assured those will be thy worst enemies, not to whom thou hast done evil, but who have done evil to thee. And those will be thy best friends, not to whom thou hast done good, but who have done good to thee.	114
Joe Baca	Pearl Harbor caused our Nation to wholeheartedly commit to winning World War II, changing the course of our Nation's history and the world's future.	114
Dan Quayle	The Holocaust was an obscene period in our nation's history. I mean in this century's history. But we all lived in this century. I didn't live in this century.	115
Richard P. Feynman	It is in the admission of ignorance and the admission of uncertainty that there is a hope for the continuous motion of human beings in some direction that doesn't get confined, permanently blocked, as it has so many times before in various periods in the history of man.	115
Arnold J. Toynbee	Civilization is a movement and not a condition, a voyage and not a harbor.	115
Bobby Seale	I'm going to have to call up Spike Lee. I did a cameo for him in 'Malcolm X,' and I'm trying to get him to do my life story and the history of the Black Panther Party.	115
Colin Farrell	My Dublin wasn't the Dublin of sing-songs, traditional music, sense of history and place and community.	115
David Chang	Cooking and gardening involve so many disciplines: math, chemistry, reading, history.	115
Evita Peron	When the rich think about the poor, they have poor ideas.	115
Ezra Taft Benson	The history of humanity has, to a large extent, been one of groping blindly in the dark, fearing for the future and yet resisting the guiding hand of inspired men who would willingly lead mankind in the path of safety.	115
George R. R. Martin	Over the years, more than one reviewer has described my fantasy series, 'A Song of Ice and Fire', as historical fiction about history that never happened, flavoured with a dash of sorcery and spiced with dragons. I take that as a compliment.	115
H. G. Wells	Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.	115
Henry Louis Gates	My father and I made genetics history. We were the first African-Americans and the first father and son anywhere to have their genomes sequenced.	115
Lawrence Durrell	History is an endless repetition of the wrong way of living.	115
Lech Walesa	The fall of the Berlin Wall makes for nice pictures. But it all started in the shipyards.	115
Lord Acton	The science of politics is the one science that is deposited by the streams of history, like the grains of gold in the sand of a river; and the knowledge of the past, the record of truths revealed by experience, is eminently practical, as an instrument of action and a power that goes to making the future.	115
Rand Paul	The government has a history of not treating people fairly, from the internment of Japanese Americans in World War II to African-Americans in the Civil Rights era.	115
Thalia	The Fiesta Tour McDonald's exhibit is a one-of-a-kind compilation of items and great moments in Latin music history. Every item has a unique story, including the outfit which I wore during the 2008 Premios Juventud awards.	115
Vint Cerf	History is rife with examples of governments taking actions to 'protect' their citizens from harm by controlling access to information and inhibiting freedom of expression and other freedoms outlined in The Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We must make sure, collectively, that the Internet avoids a similar fate.	115
Summer Sanders	Boston is the cream of the crop of the marathon world. It has such history that you feel such honor just being a part of it. All the other races have pacers to get you to a Boston qualifying time.	115
Lou Holtz	If you look at the history of Notre Dame, if you hire a coach who's been successful at another college program, they're going to be ultra successful at Notre Dame because the talent will always be there.	116
Malala Yousafzai	When someone tells me about Malala, the girl who was shot by the Taliban - that's my definition for her - I don't think she's me. Now I don't even feel as if I was shot. Even my life in Swat feels like a part of history or a movie I watched. Things change. God has given us a brain and a heart which tell us how to live.	116
Woodrow Wilson	There is little for the great part of the history of the world except the bitter tears of pity and the hot tears of wrath.	116
B. R. Ambedkar	History shows that where ethics and economics come in conflict, victory is always with economics. Vested interests have never been known to have willingly divested themselves unless there was sufficient force to compel them.	116
Haile Selassie	Outside the kingdom of the Lord there is no nation which is greater than any other. God and history will remember your judgment.	116
James A. Garfield	Few men in our history have ever obtained the Presidency by planning to obtain it.	116
LL Cool J	I'm not giving up my history and what I've done in my music because I love it and I'm very proud of it. I just want to open it up for more people.	116
Lord Acton	History is not a burden on the memory but an illumination of the soul.	116
Philip Zimbardo	That human behavior is more influenced by things outside of us than inside. The 'situation' is the external environment. The inner environment is genes, moral history, religious training.	116
William O. Douglas	One who comes to the Court must come to adore, not to protest. That's the new gloss on the 1st Amendment.	116
Dwight D. Eisenhower	Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history.	117
Thomas Merton	If you want to study the social and political history of modern nations, study hell.	117
Vladimir Lenin	The history of all countries shows that the working class exclusively by its own effort is able to develop only trade-union consciousness.	117
Hannah Arendt	It is in the very nature of things human that every act that has once made its appearance and has been recorded in the history of mankind stays with mankind as a potentiality long after its actuality has become a thing of the past.	117
Kristin Armstrong	I never imagined that divorce would be part of my life history or my family's legacy. When people say that divorce can be more painful than death, I understand why. But like any great trial, God uses everything for good, if we allow Him to heal us.	117
Madeleine Albright	Jewelry and pins have been worn throughout history as symbols of power, sending messages. Interestingly enough, it was mostly men who wore the jewelry in various times, and obviously crowns were part of signals that were being sent throughout history by people of rank.	117
Martin Scorsese	I love studying Ancient History and seeing how empires rise and fall, sowing the seeds of their own destruction.	117
William J. Clinton	The new rage is to say that the government is the cause of all our problems, and if only we had no government, we'd have no problems. I can tell you, that contradicts evidence, history, and common sense.	117
Alan Moore	No matter how powerful our political and religious leaders think they are, they are as dust before the immense and implacable forces of history and progress. I just hope that they don't make too much of a mess or take too many more people down with them.	117
Franz Kafka	The history of mankind is the instant between two strides taken by a traveler.	118
Malcolm X	History is a people's memory, and without a memory, man is demoted to the lower animals.	118
Margaret Thatcher	What Britain needs is an iron lady.	118
Otto von Bismarck	The main thing is to make history, not to write it.	118
Alejandro Jodorowsky	In history, psychedelic plants were used by priests and shamans with a desire to discover the interior.	118
Ben Shapiro	Washington's birthday is worthy of celebration - he is one of the greatest men in history. But Washington himself would likely have seen celebration of the office of the presidency itself as monarchic in nature.	118
Edward de Bono	In a sense, words are encyclopedias of ignorance because they freeze perceptions at one moment in history and then insist we continue to use these frozen perceptions when we should be doing better.	118
Gertrude Stein	This is the lesson that history teaches: repetition.	118
Quentin Tarantino	I loved history because to me, history was like watching a movie.	118
Robert Kiyosaki	People clinging to job security, savings, retirement plans, and other relics will be the ones financially-ravaged from 2010-2020, the most volatile world-changing decade in history.	118
Shimon Peres	The United States is the only power in history that became great by giving and not by taking. I think the crisis was when the United States had more money than ideas. Money doesn't produce money. Ideas produce money.	118
Tom Waits	Their memory's like a train: you can see it getting smaller as it pulls away And the things you can't remember Tell the things you can't forget that History puts a saint in every dream.	118
James Buchan	Bulls don't read. Bears read financial history. As markets fall to bits, the bears dust off the Dutch tulip mania of 1637, the Banque Royale of 1719-20, the railway speculation of the 1840s, the great crash of 1929.	118
David Hume	A man acquainted with history may, in some respect, be said to have lived from the beginning of the world, and to have been making continual additions to his stock of knowledge in every century.	119
Harry S Truman	Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.	119
Richard M. Nixon	Life isn't meant to be easy. It's hard to take being on the top - or on the bottom. I guess I'm something of a fatalist. You have to have a sense of history, I think, to survive some of these things... Life is one crisis after another.	119
Warren Buffett	If past history was all there was to the game, the richest people would be librarians.	119
Alexis de Tocqueville	History is a gallery of pictures in which there are few originals and many copies.	119
Ansel Adams	There are worlds of experience beyond the world of the aggressive man, beyond history, and beyond science. The moods and qualities of nature and the revelations of great art are equally difficult to define; we can grasp them only in the depths of our perceptive spirit.	119
Joseph Stalin	History shows that there are no invincible armies.	119
Mao Zedong	The people, and the people alone, are the motive force in the making of world history.	119
Arthur Ashe	You learn about equality in history and civics, but you find out life is not really like that.	119
E. M. Forster	History develops, art stands still.	119
Henry James	It takes an endless amount of history to make even a little tradition.	119
Jose Rizal	History does not record in its annals any lasting domination exercised by one people over another, of different race, of diverse usages and customs, of opposite and divergent ideals. One of the two had to yield and succumb.	119
Malcolm Forbes	It is all one to me if a man comes from Sing Sing Prison or Harvard. We hire a man, not his history.	119
Myles Munroe	The people who have impacted the world didn't live long. Martin Luther King. John F. Kennedy. These people who impact the world were not old people, but they lived so effectively that we cannot erase them from history.	119
Thomas Carlyle	No great man lives in vain. The history of the world is but the biography of great men.	119
Tim Vine	I was reading a book... 'the history of glue' - I couldn't put it down.	119
William Hazlitt	No man is truly great who is great only in his lifetime. The test of greatness is the page of history.	119
James Surowiecki	The history of the Internet is, in part, a series of opportunities missed: the major record labels let Apple take over the digital-music business; Blockbuster refused to buy Netflix for a mere fifty million dollars; Excite turned down the chance to acquire Google for less than a million dollars.	119
Milton Friedman	So that the record of history is absolutely crystal clear. That there is no alternative way, so far discovered, of improving the lot of the ordinary people that can hold a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by a free enterprise system.	120
Queen Elizabeth II	I have behind me not only the splendid traditions and the annals of more than a thousand years but the living strength and majesty of the Commonwealth and Empire; of societies old and new; of lands and races different in history and origins but all, by God's Will, united in spirit and in aim.	120
Evita Peron	Keeping books on social aid is capitalistic nonsense. I just use the money for the poor. I can't stop to count it.	120
John Irving	I grew up around books - my grandmother's house, where I lived as a small child, was full of books. My father was a history teacher, and he loved the Russian novels. There were always books around.	120
Winston Churchill	History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.	121
Robert Kennedy	The history of antitrust law enforcement shows that successful antitrust prosecutions have often strengthened and brought vitality to extremely large companies and businesses.	121
B. F. Skinner	I don't deny the importance of genetics. However, the fact that I might be altruistic isn't because I have a gene for altruism; the fact that I do something for my children at some cost to myself comes from a history that has operated on me.	121
Elton John	I love places that have an incredible history. I love the Italian way of life. I love the food. I love the people. I love the attitudes of Italians.	121
Georg C. Lichtenberg	Perhaps in time the so-called Dark Ages will be thought of as including our own.	121
H. G. Wells	History is a race between education and catastrophe.	121
Henry Adams	Chaos often breeds life, when order breeds habit.	121
Herman Hesse	Without words, without writing and without books there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity.	121
John Henrik Clarke	It is unfortunate that so much of the history of Africa has been written by conquerors, foreigners, missionaries and adventurers. The Egyptians left the best record of their history written by local writers.	121
Muhammad Iqbal	The possibility of a scientific treatment of history means a wider experience, a greater maturity of practical reason, and finally a fuller realization of certain basic ideas regarding the nature of life and time.	121
Neil Armstrong	Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon. July 1969 AD. We came in peace for all mankind.	121
Will Durant	Most of us spend too much time on the last twenty-four hours and too little on the last six thousand years.	121
Bernie Sanders	We all remember the BP oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, the worst oil spill in U.S. history. What is less well known is that BP is claiming a 9.9 billion tax deduction on the money they had to spend cleaning up their own mess and paying for damages they caused. That is absurd.	122
Henry Ford	History is more or less bunk.	122
Lyndon B. Johnson	If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Potomac River, the headline that afternoon would read: 'President Can't Swim.'	122
Pope John Paul II	Today, for the first time in history, a Bishop of Rome sets foot on English soil. This fair land, once a distant outpost of the pagan world, has become, through the preaching of the Gospel, a beloved and gifted portion of Christ's vineyard.	122
David Icke	And why do we, who say we oppose tyranny and demand freedom of speech, allow people to go to prison and be vilified, and magazines to be closed down on the spot, for suggesting another version of history.	122
Louis D. Brandeis	Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.	122
John F. Kennedy	Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners, and necessity has made us allies. Those whom God has so joined together, let no man put asunder.	123
Maya Angelou	You may write me down in history with your bitter, twisted lines. You may trod me in the very dirt, but still, like dust, I'll rise.	123
Alan Watts	In known history, nobody has had such capacity for altering the universe than the people of the United States of America. And nobody has gone about it in such an aggressive way.	123
Hillary Clinton	Whether a woman's running for office or she's supporting her husband who's running for office and she gets criticised for wearing open-toed shoes or for the colour of her coat, there's just a lot of history that you bear if you are a woman who puts herself out in the political arena.	123
Pope John Paul II	Love is never defeated, and I could add, the history of Ireland proves it.	123
Robert Kennedy	There are people in every time and every land who want to stop history in its tracks. They fear the future, mistrust the present, and invoke the security of a comfortable past which, in fact, never existed.	123
Steven Spielberg	History opens up new worlds to film-makers all the time.	123
Camille Paglia	It is capitalist America that produced the modern independent woman. Never in history have women had more freedom of choice in regard to dress, behavior, career, and sexual orientation.	123
John Henrik Clarke	I want to make it clear that the black race did not come to the United States culturally empty-handed. The role and importance of ethnic history is in how well it teaches a people to use their own talents, take pride in their own history and love their own memories.	123
Thomas Huxley	History warns us that it is the customary fate of new truths to begin as heresies and to end as superstitions.	123
Vint Cerf	We never, ever in the history of mankind have had access to so much information so quickly and so easily.	123
Martin Luther King, Jr.	We are not makers of history. We are made by history.	124
Theodore Roosevelt	Never throughout history has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering.	124
Margaret Thatcher	Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy.	124
Nikola Tesla	The history of science shows that theories are perishable. With every new truth that is revealed we get a better understanding of Nature and our conceptions and views are modified.	124
Richard M. Nixon	In the long term we can hope that religion will change the nature of man and reduce conflict. But history is not encouraging in this respect. The bloodiest wars in history have been religious wars.	124
Kofi Annan	Open markets offer the only realistic hope of pulling billions of people in developing countries out of abject poverty, while sustaining prosperity in the industrialized world.	124
Jackie Kennedy	What is sad for women of my generation is that they weren't supposed to work if they had families. What were they going to do when the children are grown - watch the raindrops coming down the window pane?	124
John Wayne	I'd read up on the history of our country and I'd become fascinated with the story of the Alamo. To me it represented the fight for freedom, not just in America, but in all countries.	124
Queen Elizabeth II	The upward course of a nation's history is due in the long run to the soundness of heart of its average men and women.	124
Ban Ki-moon	Throughout human history, in any great endeavour requiring the common effort of many nations and men and women everywhere, we have learned - it is only through seriousness of purpose and persistence that we ultimately carry the day. We might liken it to riding a bicycle. You stay upright and move forward so long as you keep up the momentum.	124
Jawaharlal Nehru	You don't change the course of history by turning the faces of portraits to the wall.	124
Thomas Hardy	My argument is that War makes rattling good history; but Peace is poor reading.	124
Joyce Carol Oates	I don't think I'm morbid by nature. Serious writers have always written about serious subjects. Lighthearted material doesn't appeal to me, and I don't read it. I think I'm a realist, with a realistic sensibility of history and the tragedy of history.	124
Donald Trump	Hillary Clinton was the worst Secretary of State in the history of the country. The world came apart under her reign as Secretary of State.	125
Eleanor Roosevelt	Anyone who knows history, particularly the history of Europe, will, I think, recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people.	125
Desmond Tutu	In its history, Europe has committed so many massacres and horrors that it should bow its own head in shame.	125
George Bernard Shaw	If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.	125
Woodrow Wilson	The history of liberty is a history of resistance.	125
Stephen Gardiner	Stonehenge was built possibly by the Minoans. It presents one of man's first attempts to order his view of the outside world.	125
Mark Twain	The very ink with which history is written is merely fluid prejudice.	126
Martin Luther King, Jr.	History will have to record that the greatest tragedy of this period of social transition was not the strident clamor of the bad people, but the appalling silence of the good people.	126
Charles de Gaulle	In the tumult of men and events, solitude was my temptation; now it is my friend. What other satisfaction can be sought once you have confronted History?	126
Nicolas Cage	Personally, my interests are ancient history and ancient civilizations. In my own life, I'd like to go to places like Easter Island.	126
Sally Ride	I did not come to NASA to make history.	126
Maya Angelou	History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.	201
Douglas MacArthur	They died hard, those savage men - like wounded wolves at bay. They were filthy, and they were lousy, and they stunk. And I loved them.	201
George Will	World War II was the last government program that really worked.	201
Salman Rushdie	In this world without quiet corners, there can be no easy escapes from history, from hullabaloo, from terrible, unquiet fuss.	201
Samuel Butler	The history of art is the history of revivals.	201
Wole Soyinka	History teaches us to beware of the excitation of the liberated and the injustices that often accompany their righteous thirst for justice.	201
Hillary Clinton	As I speak to you today, government censors somewhere are working furiously to erase my words from the records of history. But history itself has already condemned these tactics.	202
Isaac Newton	There are more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible that in any profane history.	202
Leo Tolstoy	In all history there is no war which was not hatched by the governments, the governments alone, independent of the interests of the people, to whom war is always pernicious even when successful.	203
Margaret Thatcher	Democratic nations must try to find ways to starve the terrorist and the hijacker of the oxygen of publicity on which they depend.	203
Vladimir Lenin	It is impossible to predict the time and progress of revolution. It is governed by its own more or less mysterious laws.	203
Gertrude Stein	It is the soothing thing about history that it does repeat itself.	203
John Henrik Clarke	When the early Europeans first met Africans, at the crossroads of history, it was a respectful meeting and the Africans were not slaves. Their nations were old before Europe was born.	203
Camille Paglia	My generation of bossy, confident, baby-boom women were something brand new in history. Our energy and assertiveness weren't created by Betty Friedan, unknown before her 1963 book, or by Gloria Steinem, whose political activism, as even the Lifetime profile admitted, did not begin until 1969.	204
George Eliot	Rome - the city of visible history, where the past of a whole hemisphere seems moving in funeral procession with strange ancestral images and trophies gathered from afar.	205
George W. Bush	I sent American troops to Iraq to make its people free, not to make them American. Iraqis will write their own history and find their own way.	205
Vladimir Lenin	Sometimes - history needs a push.	205
Annie Besant	'Easter' is a movable event, calculated by the relative positions of sun and moon, an impossible way of fixing year by year the anniversary of a historical event, but a very natural and indeed inevitable way of calculating a solar festival. These changing dates do not point to the history of a man, but to the hero of a solar myth.	205
C. S. Lewis	If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.	206
George S. Patton	Americans love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle.	206
Karl Marx	Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex, the ugly ones included.	206
Noam Chomsky	By curious accident of history and geography, the world's major energy resources are located pretty much in Shiite regions. They're a minority in the Middle East, but they happen to be where the oil is, right around the northern part of the Gulf.	206
Ambrose Bierce	History is an account, mostly false, of events, mostly unimportant, which are brought about by rulers, mostly knaves, and soldiers, mostly fools.	206
Douglas MacArthur	Could I have but a line a century hence crediting a contribution to the advance of peace, I would yield every honor which has been accorded by war.	207
Franklin D. Roosevelt	The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.	207
Lyndon B. Johnson	The Russians feared Ike. They didn't fear me.	207
Joyce Meyer	As a global society, we do not have to agree, endorse or condone the lifestyle choices of others. However, history has taught us that we equally cannot and should not excuse those who would hide behind religion or misuse God's word to justify bigotry and persecution.	207
John Henrik Clarke	I am a nationalist, and a Pan-Africanist, first and foremost. I was well grounded in history before ever taking a history course. I did not spend much formal time in school - I had to work.	207
Dalai Lama	The Chinese government wants me to say that for many centuries Tibet has been part of China. Even if I make that statement, many people would just laugh. And my statement will not change past history. History is history.	208
Nelson Mandela	Never, never and never again shall it be that this beautiful land will again experience the oppression of one by another.	208
Ray Bradbury	If you are going to describe the history of animation, you'd look at the early Disney work, then 'Bugs Bunny,' 'Road Runner' and other Warner Brothers theatrical productions. But when you got to 'Rocky and Bullwinkle,' you'd see they were unique: They assumed you had a brain in your head.	208
Salman Rushdie	There are two things in Indian history - one is the incredible optimism and potential of the place, and the other is the betrayal of that potential - for example, corruption. Those two strands intertwine through the whole of Indian history, and maybe not just Indian history.	208
Umberto Eco	Captain Cook discovered Australia looking for the Terra Incognita. Christopher Columbus thought he was finding India but discovered America. History is full of events that happened because of an imaginary tale.	208
Elon Musk	If anyone thinks they'd rather be in a different part of history, they're probably not a very good student of history. Life sucked in the old days. People knew very little, and you were likely to die at a young age of some horrible disease. You'd probably have no teeth by now. It would be particularly awful if you were a woman.	209
Harry S Truman	There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know.	209
Bryant H. McGill	The real violence is committed in the writing of history, the records of the legal system, the reporting of news, through the manipulation of social contracts, and the control of information.	209
John Henrik Clarke	In the closing years of the nineteenth century, African-American historians began to look at their people's history from their vantage point and their point of view.	209
Rush Limbaugh	The future is not Big Government. Self-serving politicians. Powerful bureaucrats. This has been tried, tested throughout history. The result has always been disaster. President Obama, your agenda is not new. It's not change, and it's not hope.	209
Tony Blair	We, therefore, here in Britain stand shoulder to shoulder with our American friends in this hour of tragedy, and we, like them, will not rest until this evil is driven from our world.	209
Carl Jung	Man is not a machine that can be remodelled for quite other purposes as occasion demands, in the hope that it will go on functioning as regularly as before but in a quite different way. He carries his whole history with him; in his very structure is written the history of mankind.	210
Dwight D. Eisenhower	Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.	210
Martin Luther	Blood alone moves the wheels of history.	210
A. P. J. Abdul Kalam	We have not invaded anyone. We have not conquered anyone. We have not grabbed their land, their culture, their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them.	210
Demetri Martin	I didn't do improv in college, I never performed, I didn't do theater either. I was in student government, I was a history major.	210
Theodor Adorno	History does not merely touch on language, but takes place in it.	210
Salman Rushdie	The question I'm always asking myself is: are we masters or victims? Do we make history, or does history make us? Do we shape the world, or are we just shaped by it? The question of do we have agency in our lives or whether we are just passive victims of events is, I think, a great question, and one that I have always tried to ask.	210
David Attenborough	I like animals. I like natural history. The travel bit is not the important bit. The travel bit is what you have to do in order to go and look at animals.	211
Noam Chomsky	History shows that, more often than not, loss of sovereignty leads to liberalisation imposed in the interests of the powerful.	211
William Butler Yeats	You that would judge me, do not judge alone this book or that, come to this hallowed place where my friends' portraits hang and look thereon; Ireland's history in their lineaments trace; think where man's glory most begins and ends and say my glory was I had such friends.	211
Albert Camus	To correct a natural indifference I was placed half-way between misery and the sun. Misery kept me from believing that all was well under the sun, and the sun taught me that history wasn't everything.	212
Dan Quayle	It's a very good historical book about history.	213
John F. Kennedy	History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.	214
Thomas Jefferson	Sometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he, then be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the form of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question.	214
Barack Obama	We've persevered because of a belief we share with the Iraqi people - a belief that out of the ashes of war, a new beginning could be born in this cradle of civilization. Through this remarkable chapter in the history of the United States and Iraq, we have met our responsibility. Now, it's time to turn the page.	215
Elon Musk	It's important that we attempt to extend life beyond Earth now. It is the first time in the four billion-year history of Earth that it's been possible, and that window could be open for a long time - hopefully it is - or it could be open for a short time. We should err on the side of caution and do something now.	215
Karl Marx	The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.	215
Albert Schweitzer	One truth stands firm. All that happens in world history rests on something spiritual. If the spiritual is strong, it creates world history. If it is weak, it suffers world history.	215
Aldous Huxley	The charm of history and its enigmatic lesson consist in the fact that, from age to age, nothing changes and yet everything is completely different.	216
Marco Rubio	This is the greatest society in all of human history, the greatest country ever. Many of the decisions being made in Washington today by both parties are threatening that greatness. And if we stay on this road we're on right now, our children are going to be the first Americans ever to inherit a diminished country.	216
Colin Powell	90 percent of my time is spent on 10 percent of the world.	217
Karl Marx	It is not history which uses men as a means of achieving - as if it were an individual person - its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.	217
Elon Musk	The revolutionary breakthrough will come with rockets that are fully and rapidly reusable. We will never conquer Mars unless we do that. It'll be too expensive. The American colonies would never have been pioneered if the ships that crossed the ocean hadn't been reusable.	218
Camille Paglia	A war still rages over the legacy of the 1960s.	218
Charles de Gaulle	I have tried to lift France out of the mud. But she will return to her errors and vomitings. I cannot prevent the French from being French.	219
Ambrose Bierce	The slightest acquaintance with history shows that powerful republics are the most warlike and unscrupulous of nations.	219
C. S. Lewis	History isn't just the story of bad people doing bad things. It's quite as much a story of people trying to do good things. But somehow, something goes wrong.	220
Mahatma Gandhi	Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest.	220
George Eliot	You should read history and look at ostracism, persecution, martyrdom, and that kind of thing. They always happen to the best men, you know.	220
Alan Rickman	England in the '60s and the '70s was everything that history has said; it was phenomenally exciting, musically.	220
Thomas Jefferson	History, in general, only informs us of what bad government is.	222
Dwight D. Eisenhower	History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.	222
Johnny Depp	France, and the whole of Europe have a great culture and an amazing history. Most important thing though is that people there know how to live! In America they've forgotten all about it. I'm afraid that the American culture is a disaster.	222
Robert H. Schuller	Twentieth century history of Christianity will name Oral Roberts as the voice that brought the Pentecostal movement to be taken seriously by mainline Christianity.	222
Arthur Schopenhauer	Newspapers are the second hand of history. This hand, however, is usually not only of inferior metal to the other hands, it also seldom works properly.	223
Neil deGrasse Tyson	If the only time you think of me as a scientist is during Black History Month, then I must not be doing my job as a scientist.	223
Pope Francis	Worshipping the Lord means giving Him the place that he must have; worshipping the Lord means stating, believing - not only by our words - that He alone truly guides our lives; worshipping the Lord means that we are convinced before Him that He is the only God, the God of our lives, the God of our history.	223
William James	The world we see that seems so insane is the result of a belief system that is not working. To perceive the world differently, we must be willing to change our belief system, let the past slip away, expand our sense of now, and dissolve the fear in our minds.	223
Charles de Gaulle	I was France.	224
Dwight D. Eisenhower	Things have never been more like the way they are today in history.	224
Jean-Paul Sartre	Every age has its own poetry; in every age the circumstances of history choose a nation, a race, a class to take up the torch by creating situations that can be expressed or transcended only through poetry.	225
Tom Ford	September 11th was a moment when America had the sympathy of the world.	225
Karl Marx	History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.	301
Billy Graham	The Bible is full of warnings about false prophets and false messiahs. These satanically inspired people have appeared in almost every generation of history.	303
Dwight D. Eisenhower	The history of free men is never really written by chance but by choice; their choice!	303
Neil deGrasse Tyson	If you only think of me during Black History Month, I must be failing as an educator and as an astrophysicist.	303
George Santayana	History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren't there.	304
Malcolm X	History proves that the white man is a devil.	304
Napoleon Bonaparte	What is history but a fable agreed upon?	304
Noam Chomsky	Britain kept its position as the dominant world power well into the 20th century despite steady decline. By the end of World War II, dominance had shifted decisively into the hands of the upstart across the sea, the United States, by far the most powerful and wealthy society in world history.	304
Stephen Covey	Live out of your imagination, not your history.	304
Carl Jung	Who has fully realized that history is not contained in thick books but lives in our very blood?	305
Richard M. Nixon	I can see clearly now... that I was wrong in not acting more decisively and more forthrightly in dealing with Watergate.	305
H. L. Mencken	Legend: A lie that has attained the dignity of age.	306
Noam Chomsky	Some may remember, if you have good memories, that there used to be a concept in Anglo-American law called a presumption of innocence, innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Now that's so deep in history that there's no point even bringing it up, but it did once exist.	306
Richard M. Nixon	I let the American people down.	306
Stephen Hawking	The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.	306
Terry Pratchett	If you are going to write, say, fantasy - stop reading fantasy. You've already read too much. Read other things; read westerns, read history, read anything that seems interesting, because if you only read fantasy and then you start to write fantasy, all you're going to do is recycle the same old stuff and move it around a bit.	306
Chuck Palahniuk	My private history in terms of people in my life who are dead is very easy to discuss. I don't feel those people can be threatened or intruded upon now. But I am enormously protective of the people who are currently in my life, my existing friends and family. That is where the curtain is drawn.	306
Abraham Lincoln	The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.	307
Pablo Picasso	I don't believe in accidents. There are only encounters in history. There are no accidents.	307
Benjamin Disraeli	The view of Jerusalem is the history of the world; it is more, it is the history of earth and of heaven.	308
Maya Angelou	Won't it be wonderful when black history and native American history and Jewish history and all of U.S. history is taught from one book. Just U.S. history.	310
Robert Frost	I often say of George Washington that he was one of the few in the whole history of the world who was not carried away by power.	310
Bertrand Russell	The megalomaniac differs from the narcissist by the fact that he wishes to be powerful rather than charming, and seeks to be feared rather than loved. To this type belong many lunatics and most of the great men of history.	311
Theodore Roosevelt	There has never yet been a man in our history who led a life of ease whose name is worth remembering.	312
Walt Whitman	Judging from the main portions of the history of the world, so far, justice is always in jeopardy.	312
Samuel Butler	God cannot alter the past, though historians can.	313
Winston Churchill	Study history, study history. In history lies all the secrets of statecraft.	314
Malcolm X	History is not hatred.	314
Napoleon Bonaparte	History is a set of lies agreed upon.	316
Richard Dawkins	But perhaps the rest of us could have separate classes in science appreciation, the wonder of science, scientific ways of thinking, and the history of scientific ideas, rather than laboratory experience.	316
Noam Chomsky	The 1950s and 1960s had been a period of enormous growth, the highest in American history, maybe in economic history.	317
C. S. Lewis	Long before history began we men have got together apart from the women and done things. We had time.	319
Aristotle	Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of graver import than history, since its statements are rather of the nature of universals, whereas those of history are singulars.	320
Benjamin Disraeli	Beware of endeavoring to become a great man in a hurry. One such attempt in ten thousand may succeed. These are fearful odds.	323
Dan Quayle	People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history.	323
George Bernard Shaw	Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that man can never learn anything from history.	324
Malcolm X	The white man made the mistake of letting me read his history books. He made the mistake of teaching me that Patrick Henry was a patriot and George Washington - wasn't nothing non-violent about old Pat or George Washington.	401
Noam Chomsky	I stated that Hiroshima and Nagasaki are 'among the most unspeakable crimes in history.' I took no position on just where they stand on the scale of horrors relative to Auschwitz, the bombing of Chungking, Lidice, and so on.	401
Victor Hugo	What is history? An echo of the past in the future; a reflex from the future on the past.	401
Barack Obama	I want to reform the tax code so that it's simple, fair, and asks the wealthiest households to pay higher taxes on incomes over $250,000 - the same rate we had when Bill Clinton was president; the same rate we had when our economy created nearly 23 million new jobs, the biggest surplus in history, and a lot of millionaires to boot.	404
Dalai Lama	I think really, China, Chinese, I think they really have a long history of civilization, rich culture.	404
Mahatma Gandhi	A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history.	406
Ralph Waldo Emerson	Jesus Christ belonged to the true race of prophets. He saw with open eye the mystery of the soul. Drawn by its severe harmony, ravished with its beauty, he lived in it and had his being there. Alone in all history, he estimated the greatness of man.	406
Winston Churchill	For my part, I consider that it will be found much better by all parties to leave the past to history, especially as I propose to write that history myself.	407
John F. Kennedy	We would like to live as we once lived, but history will not permit it.	409
Joel Osteen	Yes, the Bible should be taught in our schools because it is necessary to understand the Bible if we are to truly understand our own culture and how it came to be. The Bible has influenced every part of western culture from our art, music, and history, to our sense of fairness, charity, and business.	410
John F. Kennedy	In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility - I welcome it.	415
Henry David Thoreau	It is remarkable how closely the history of the apple tree is connected with that of man.	417
Abraham Lincoln	Repeal the Missouri Compromise - repeal all compromises - repeal the Declaration of Independence - repeal all past history, you still cannot repeal human nature. It will be the abundance of man's heart that slavery extension is wrong; and out of the abundance of his heart, his mouth will continue to speak.	421
Muhammad Ali	No boxer in the history of boxing has had Parkinson's. There's no injury in my brain that suggests that the illness came from boxing.	421
Donald Trump	Somebody made the statement that Donald Trump has built or owns the greatest collection of golf courses, ever, in the history of golf. And I believe that is 100 percent true.	422
Dwight D. Eisenhower	The most terrible job in warfare is to be a second lieutenant leading a platoon when you are on the battlefield.	422
Winston Churchill	Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong - these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history.	425
Albert Camus	Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want; not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.	425
Stephen Hawking	I had not expected 'A Brief History of Time' to be a best seller. It was my first popular book and aroused a great deal of interest. Initially, many people found it difficult to understand. I therefore decided to try to write a new version that would be easier to follow.	425
Aristotle	Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.	426
Martin Luther King, Jr.	Nonviolence is a powerful and just weapon. Indeed, it is a weapon unique in history, which cuts without wounding and ennobles the man who wields it.	426
Plato	Poetry is nearer to vital truth than history.	506
Marianne Williamson	Americans are good with to-do lists; just tell us what to do, and we'll do it. Throughout our history, we have proven that. Colonize. Check. Win our independence. Check. Form a union. Check. Expand to the Pacific. Check. Settle the West. Check. Keep the Union together. Check. Industrialize. Check. Fight the Nazis. Check.	512
Elon Musk	In the early days of aviation, there was a great deal of experimentation and a high death rate.	513
Maya Angelou	Hold those things that tell your history and protect them. During slavery, who was able to read or write or keep anything? The ability to have somebody to tell your story to is so important. It says: 'I was here. I may be sold tomorrow. But you know I was here.'	518
H. L. Mencken	Historian: an unsuccessful novelist.	526
Winston Churchill	History is written by the victors.	608
Abraham Lincoln	With Malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds.	616
Friedrich Nietzsche	In the course of history, men come to see that iron necessity is neither iron nor necessary.	718
