Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “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)

    “The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
