Famous quotes containing the words history and and/or history:

    “History and experience tell us that moral progress comes not in comfortable and complacent times, but out of trial and confusion.”
    —Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

    “No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
