Famous quotes containing the words car, race and/or history:

    “Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.”
    —P.J. (Patrick Jake)

    “The greater speed and success that distinguish the planting of the human race in this country, over all other plantations in history, owe themselves mainly to the new subdivisions of the State into small corporations of land and power.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “History ... is, indeed, little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.
    But what experience and history teach is this—that peoples and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
