Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates

    Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
    Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “The history of the past is but one long struggle upward to equality.”
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    “The history of a soldier’s wound beguiles the pain of it.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
