Forgetting/history

Famous quotes containing the words forgetting and/or history:

“It is one of the most discouraging experiences I have ever had, not forgetting the time when I winked at the Queen Mother in London once.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

“It would be naive to think that peace and justice can be achieved easily. No set of rules or study of history will automatically resolve the problems.... However, with faith and perseverance,... complex problems in the past have been resolved in our search for justice and peace. They can be resolved in the future, provided, of course, that we can think of five new ways to measure the height of a tall building by using a barometer.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
