Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “To history therefore I must refer for answer, in which it would be an unhappy passage indeed, which should shew by what fatal indulgence of subordinate views and passions, a contest for an atom had defeated well founded prospects of giving liberty to half the globe.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “Well, for us, in history where goodness is a rare pearl, he who was good almost takes precedence over he who was great.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    “When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.”
    —William James (1842–1910)
