Period/history

Famous quotes containing the words period and/or history:

“The Good of man is the active exercise of his soul’s faculties in conformity with excellence or virtue.... Moreover this activity must occupy a complete lifetime; for one swallow does not make spring, nor does one fine day; and similarly one day or a brief period of happiness does not make a man supremely blessed and happy.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)

“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
