Famous quotes containing the words waistcoat and/or history:
“Dignity, and even holiness too, sometimes, are more questions of coat and waistcoat than some people imagine.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“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)
