Famous quotes containing the word history:

    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Social history might be defined negatively as the history of a people with the politics left out.
    —G.M. (George Macaulay)
