Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “The greatest honor history can bestow is that of peacemaker.”
    —Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)

    “The History of the world is not the theatre of happiness. Periods of happiness are blank pages in it, for they are periods of harmony—periods when the antithesis is in abeyance.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    “A poet’s object is not to tell what actually happened but what could or would happen either probably or inevitably.... For this reason poetry is something more scientific and serious than history, because poetry tends to give general truths while history gives particular facts.”
    —Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
