Midriff/culture and History

Famous quotes containing the words culture and/or history:

    The highest end of government is the culture of men.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)
