Famous quotes containing the words fiddle and/or history:

    It needs more skill than I can tell

    —C.H. (Charles Haddon)

    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)
