Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “In the history of the United States, there is no continuity at all. You can cut through it anywhere and nothing on this side of the cut has anything to do with anything on the other side.”
    —Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    “The awareness that health is dependent upon habits that we control makes us the first generation in history that to a large extent determines its own destiny.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    “In history an additional result is commonly produced by human actions beyond that which they aim at and obtain—that which they immediately recognize and desire. They gratify their own interest; but something further is thereby accomplished, latent in the actions in question, though not present to their consciousness, and not included in their design.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
