Long History

Famous quotes containing the words long and/or history:

    Lo! he babbles of the fish-frys of long ago,
    Of the horse-races of long ago at Clary’s Grove,
    Of what Abe Lincoln said
    One time at Springfield.
    Edgar Lee Masters (1869–1950)

    Let us not underrate the value of a fact; it will one day flower in a truth. It is astonishing how few facts of importance are added in a century to the natural history of any animal. The natural history of man himself is still being gradually written.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
