Famous quotes containing the word history:

    The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    Let us not underrate the value of a fact; it will one day flower in a truth. It is astonishing how few facts of importance are added in a century to the natural history of any animal. The natural history of man himself is still being gradually written.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A man will not need to study history to find out what is best for his own culture.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
