Famous quotes containing the word history:

dragging its history like saddlebags,
nearing its tomb and the pitch of hell.”

“When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.”
—William James (1842–1910)
“The history of persecution is a history of endeavors to cheat nature, to make water run up hill, to twist a rope of sand.”
