Famous quotes containing the word history:

    ““And now this is the way in which the history of your former life has reached my ears!” As he said this he held out in his hand the fatal letter.”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    “Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “In front of these sinister facts, the first lesson of history is the good of evil. Good is a good doctor, but Bad is sometimes a better.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
