Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “It may be well to remember that the highest level of moral aspiration recorded in history was reached by a few ancient Jews—Micah, Isaiah, and the rest—who took no count whatever of what might not happen to them after death. It is not obvious to me why the same point should not by and by be reached by the Gentiles.”
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    “In every election in American history both parties have their clichés. The party that has the clichés that ring true wins.”
    —Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)

    “It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
    —Henry James (1843–1916)
