Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “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)

    “Boys forget what their country means by just reading “the land of the free” in history books. Then they get to be men, they forget even more. Liberty’s too precious a thing to be buried in books.”
    —Sidney Buchman (1902–1975)

    “The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)
