Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “History ... is, indeed, little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.
    But what experience and history teach is this—that peoples and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    “This is the greatest week in the history of the world since the Creation, because as a result of what happened in this week, the world is bigger, infinitely.”
    —Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)

    “The history of the genesis or the old mythology repeats itself in the experience of every child. He too is a demon or god thrown into a particular chaos, where he strives ever to lead things from disorder into order.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
