Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “The reverence for the Scriptures is an element of civilization, for thus has the history of the world been preserved, and is preserved.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    —G.M. (George Macaulay)

    “When we of the so-called better classes are scared as men were never scared in history at material ugliness and hardship; when we put off marriage until our house can be artistic, and quake at the thought of having a child without a bank-account and doomed to manual labor, it is time for thinking men to protest against so unmanly and irreligious a state of opinion.”
    —William James (1842–1910)
