Famous quotes containing the words lead and/or history:

“In sum, all actions and habits are to be esteemed good or evil by their causes and usefulness in reference to the commonwealth, and not by their mediocrity, nor by their being commended. For several men praise several customs, and, contrarily, what one calls vice, another calls virtue, as their present affections lead them.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

“We said that the history of mankind depicts man; in the same way one can maintain that the history of science is science itself.”
