Love, which is only an episode in the life of man, is the entire history of woman's life Picture Quote #1

I don't know much about history, and I wouldn't give a nickel for all the history in the world. History is more or less bunk. It is a tradition. We want to live in the present, and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history we make today Picture Quote #1

History is more or less bunk. It's tradition. We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's dam is the history we made today Picture Quote #1

The world has changed far more in the past 100 years than in any other century in history. The reason is not political or economic but technological - technologies that flowed directly from advances in basic science Picture Quote #1

Buddy Holly was twenty-two. Think of what he might have gone on to achieve. I mean, if Beethoven had been killed in a plane crash at twenty-two, the history of music would have been very different. As would the history of aviation, of course Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Now, when I hear that Christians are getting together in order to defend the people of Israel, of course it brings joy to my heart. And it simply says, look, people have learned from history Picture Quote #1

It all happened so fast. The ghetto. The deportation. The sealed cattle car. The fiery altar upon which the history of our people and the future of mankind were meant to be sacrificed Picture Quote #1

Strangers are exciting, their mystery never ends. But, there's nothing like looking at your own history in the faces of your friends Picture Quote #1

Let us labor for that larger and larger comprehension of truth, that more and more thorough repudiation of error, which shall make the history of mankind a series of ascending developments Picture Quote #1

The American businessmen, as a class, have demonstrated the greatest productive genius and the most spectacular achievements ever recorded in the economic history of mankind. What reward did they receive from our culture and its intellectuals? The position of a hated, persecuted minority. The position of a scapegoat for the evils of the bureaucrats Picture Quote #1

Every school boy and school girl who has arrived at the age of reflection ought to know something about the history of the art of printing Picture Quote #1

Whosoever, in writing a modern history, shall follow truth too near the heels, it may happily strike out his teeth Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

If philosophy is practice, a demand to know the manner in which it's history is to be studied is entailed: a theoretical attitude toward it becomes real only in the living appropriation of it's contents from the texts Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Let me tell you, never before in the history of this planet has anybody made the progress that African Americans have made in a 30 year period, in spite of many black folks and white folks lying to one another Picture Quote #1
