Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is a history in all men’s lives,
Figuring the natures of the times deceased,
The which observed, a man may prophesy,
With a near aim, of the main chance of things
As yet not come to life.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman.”

Is not redeemed from time, for history is a pattern
Of timeless moments.”
