Famous quotes containing the word history:

—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“If usually the present age is no very long time, still, at our pleasure, or in the service of some such unity of meaning as the history of civilization, or the study of geology, may suggest, we may conceive the present as extending over many centuries, or over a hundred thousand years.”
—Josiah Royce (18551916)
“The history of the past is but one long struggle upward to equality.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (18151902)
