Waistcoat/history

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)

    The only history is a mere question of one’s struggle inside oneself. But that is the joy of it. One need neither discover Americas nor conquer nations, and yet one has as great a work as Columbus or Alexander, to do.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
