Famous quotes containing the word history:
“You that would judge me do not judge alone
This book or that, come to this hallowed place
Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;
Ireland’s history in their lineaments trace;
Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
And say my glory was I had such friends.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

—Carrie Chapman Catt (1859–1947)
“As I am, so shall I associate, and so shall I act; Caesar’s history will paint out Caesar.”
