Study History

Famous quotes containing the words study and/or history:

“They should not play life, or study it merely, while the community supports them at this expensive game, but earnestly live it from beginning to end.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Every literary critic believes he will outwit history and have the last word.”
