Famous quotes containing the words history and/or mission:
“Universal history is the history of a few metaphors.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
“Every Age has its own peculiar faith.... Any attempt to translate into facts the mission of one Age with the machinery of another, can only end in an indefinite series of abortive efforts. Defeated by the utter want of proportion between the means and the end, such attempts might produce martyrs, but never lead to victory.”
—Giuseppe Mazzini (1805–1872)
