Famous quotes containing the words saint and/or history:
“Theres so much saint in the worst of them,
And so much devil in the best of them,
That a woman whos married to one of them,
Has nothing to learn of the rest of them.”
—Helen Rowland (18751950)
“A poets object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
—Aristotle (384323 B.C.)
