Whistle/history

Famous quotes containing the words whistle and/or history:

    Discourse on virtue and they pass by in droves, whistle and dance the shimmy, and you’ve got an audience.
    Diogenes of Sinope (c. 410–320 B.C.)

    You that would judge me do not judge alone
    This book or that, come to this hallowed place
    Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;
    Ireland’s history in their lineaments trace;
    Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
    And say my glory was I had such friends.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
