Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    “Let it suffice that in the light of these two facts, namely, that the mind is One, and that nature is its correlative, history is to be read and written.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I am not a literary man.... I am a man of science, and I am interested in that branch of Anthropology which deals with the history of human speech.”
    —J.A.H. (James Augustus Henry)
