Alexis de TocquevilleFor my part I consider that it will be found much better by all parties to leave the past to history, especially as I propose to write that history myself.

Washington IrvingHistory makes people wise.
Francis BaconEurope was created by history. America was created by philosophy.

P. J. O'RourkeI believe that's one of the finest action regurgitation scenes in the history of literature ... I'd put it right up there.

Mike TysonAll human history attests, That happiness for man - the hungry sinner! Since Eve ate apples much depends on dinner.
Lord ByronWhenever the poetry of myth is interpreted as biography history or science it is killed. The living images become only remote facts of a distant time or place. Furthermore it is never difficult to demonstrate that as science and history mythology is absurd.
Joseph CampbellWoz is living his own life now. He hasn't been around Apple for about five years. But what he did will go down in history.
Steve JobsEvery age has its own poetry, in every age the circumstances of history choose a nation, a race, a class to take up the torch by creating situations that can be expressed or transcended only through poetry.
Jean-Paul SartreWe live in an era with no historical precedents. History is no longer useful as a tool in helping us understand current changes.

Richard M. NixonIn the long history of humankind (and animal kind too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed.
Charles DarwinAnyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex, the ugly ones included.
Karl MarxIt 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 MarxLife isn't meant to be easy. It's hard to take being on the top - or on the bottom. I guess I'm something of a fatalist. You have to have a sense of history I think to survive some of these things... Life is one crisis after another.

Gertrude SteinJudging from the main portions of the history of the world so far justice is always in jeopardy.
Walt WhitmanThe history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.

Karl MarxWho has fully realized that history is not contained in thick books but lives in our very blood?
Carl JungThe future is not Big Government. Self-serving politicians. Powerful bureaucrats. This has been tried tested throughout history. The result has always been disaster. President Obama your agenda is not new. It's not change and it's not hope.
Rush LimbaughOur nation was created in ways that allow human potential to prosper and it created the greatest nation for people in the history of humanity.

Rush LimbaughWell, I think that California has had a history of always spending more money than it takes in.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerBecoming emancipated at 14 my life wasn't normal. I didn't have to go to school so I didn't. I was rebellious by nature. I spent my 20s focusing on my company Flower Films and producing movies. Now that I'm almost 30 I would like to try other things in lie. I'm crazy about photography and I want to take an art history class.

Vladimir LeninI believe that history might be and ought to be taught in a new fashion so as to make the meaning of it as a process of evolution intelligible to the young.

Thomas HuxleyWhat is history? An echo of the past in the future, a reflex from the future on the past.
Victor HugoAs I speak to you today government censors somewhere are working furiously to erase my words from the records of history. But history itself has already condemned these tactics.
Hillary ClintonRevolutions are the locomotives of history.
Karl MarxNo event in American history is more misunderstood than the Vietnam War. It was misreported then and it is misremembered now.

Sai BabaThe soles of Neil Armstrong's boots on the moon made permanent impressions on our souls and in our national psyche. Ann and I watched those steps together on her parent's sofa.

William BlakeThe whole history of the world is summed up in the fact that when nations are strong they are not always just and when they wish to be just they are no longer strong.
Winston ChurchillWhether a woman's running for office or she's supporting her husband who's running for office and she gets criticised for wearing open-toed shoes or for the colour of her coat there's just a lot of history that you bear if you are a woman who puts herself out in the political arena.
Hillary ClintonWe are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases while the citizens may act only by permission, which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history the stage of rule by brute force.
Ayn RandIt is the soothing thing about history that it does repeat itself.
Gertrude SteinNumerous politicians have seized absolute power and muzzled the press. Never in history has the press seized absolute power and muzzled the politicians.

Thomas JeffersonIf history repeats itself and the unexpected always happens how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.

Barack ObamaIf we could read the secret history of our enemies we should find in each man's life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.

AristotlePsychology keeps trying to vindicate human nature. History keeps undermining the effort.

Woodrow WilsonThe Chinese government wants me to say that for many centuries Tibet has been part of China. Even if I make that statement many people would just laugh. And my statement will not change past history. History is history.

Maya AngelouIsn't history ultimately the result of our fear of boredom?
Emile M. CioranSometimes it is said that man cannot be trusted with the government of himself. Can he then be trusted with the government of others? Or have we found angels in the form of kings to govern him? Let history answer this question.
Thomas JeffersonImagination is always the fabric of social life and the dynamic of history. The influence of real needs and compulsions of real interests and materials is indirect, because the crowd is never conscious of it.
Simone WeilThe only history is a mere question of one's struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander to do.

Dave BarryIndeed history is nothing more than a tableau of crimes and misfortunes.
VoltaireOne of the enduring problems with certain societies in the world - and this is certainly true of a lot of places in the Middle East - is that the capacity for self-governance and self-organizing just isn't there. It has to do with history.

But you know but when it comes to the economy we've got a lot more work to do. And we're gonna keep on at it.

Stephen HawkingI believe that's one of the finest action regurgitation scenes in the history of literature. I'd put it right up there.
Dave BarryMinimalism seems closest to the sophisticated storytelling of movies. Movies have really educated contemporary audiences to be the most intelligent sophisticated audiences in history. We don't any longer need to have the relationship between one scene and the next explained. We will figure it out ourselves.
Chuck PalahniukThroughout human history the American Idea has done more to help the poor than any other economic system ever designed.
Paul RyanTell them from me they are unloading history.

Edmund BurkeThings have never been more like the way they are today in history.

Barack ObamaOne could write a history of science in reverse by assembling the solemn pronouncements of highest authority about what could not be done and could never happen.
