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.)

“In nature, all is useful, all is beautiful. It is therefore beautiful, because it is alive, moving, reproductive; it is therefore useful, because it is symmetrical and fair. Beauty will not come at the call of a legislature, nor will it repeat in England or America its history in Greece. It will come, as always, unannounced, and spring up between the feet of brave and earnest men.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
