Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It may be well to remember that the highest level of moral aspiration recorded in history was reached by a few ancient Jews—Micah, Isaiah, and the rest—who took no count whatever of what might not happen to them after death. It is not obvious to me why the same point should not by and by be reached by the Gentiles.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

There are only two great currents in the history of mankind: the baseness which makes conservatives and the envy which makes revolutionaries.”
