Historic American

Famous quotes containing the words historic and/or american:

“Never is a historic deed already completed when it is done but always only when it is handed down to posterity.

World history ... only comprises that tiny lighted sector which chanced to be placed in the spotlight by poetic or scholarly depictions.”
—Stefan Zweig (18811942)

“After all, the chief business of the American people is business. They are profoundly concerned with producing, buying, selling, investing and prospering in the world.”
