Present Day Peru

Famous quotes containing the words present, day and/or peru:

    History is more or less bunk. It’s tradition. We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker’s damn is the history we make today.
    Henry Ford (1863–1947)

    Man’s last day must ever be awaited and none to be
    counted happy until his death, until his last funeral rites
    are paid.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    The idea that nations should love one another, or that business concerns or marketing boards should love one another, or that a man in Portugal should love a man in Peru of whom he has never heard—it is absurd, unreal, dangerous.... The fact is we can only love what we know personally. And we cannot know much.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
