Procession/history

Famous quotes containing the words procession and/or history:

    By the bivouac’s fitful flame,
    A procession winding around me, solemn and sweet and slow
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present. History is a hill or high point of vantage, from which alone men see the town in which they live or the age in which they are living.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
