Famous quotes containing the word history:

    Whenever we read the obscene stories, the voluptuous debaucheries, the cruel and torturous executions, the unrelenting vindictiveness, with which more than half the Bible is filled, it would be more consistent that we called it the word of a demon than the Word of God. It is a history of wickedness that has served to corrupt and brutalize mankind.
    Thomas Paine (1737–1809)

    The greatest honor history can bestow is that of peacemaker.
    Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)

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