Famous quotes containing the word history:

    History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.
    Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman.
    Willa Cather (1876–1947)

    The history of a soldier’s wound beguiles the pain of it.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
