I am privileged to be a citizen of the single greatest society in all of human history.

From tea parties to the election in Massachusetts, we are witnessing the single greatest political pushback in American history.

And I can tell you that history will back up what I am about to say and that is that there is no government run by conservatives, Republicans, put whoever you want there, if you give government the opportunity to spend more money than it has, it will do it. It will do it every time.

Our history is not our destiny.

I have the opportunity to be part of swimming history. To take the sport to a new level would be an honor for me. There is no better time to try this than now.

All I know is that history repeats itself and people are going to want to experience the world. But I know then they are going to have a better appreciation for what is here in Maine.

Gluttony might be innocuous were it not for the fact that gluttons tend to disregard whether their self-serving behaviors harm anyone else. We do not need to look far and wide to find examples of gluttonous behavior, as they are numerous throughout the history of capitalism.

The German national character is a favorite subject of character experts, probably because the less mature a nation, the more she is an object of criticism and not of history.

The subject of history is the gradual realization of all that is practically necessary.

The Establishment center... has led us into the stupidest and cruelest war in all history. That war is a moral and political disaster - a terrible cancer eating away at the soul of our nation.

I really like to look like a history book. I can look 1940s, I can look 1970s hippie-chic, or sometimes I will pull that 80s Brooklyn hip-hop kid with the door-knocker earrings.

There is not to be found, in all history, any miracle attested by a sufficient number of men, of such unquestioned good sense, education and learning, as to secure us against all delusion in themselves.

The advantages found in history seem to be of three kinds, as it amuses the fancy, as it improves the understanding, and as it strengthens virtue.

You can not walk alone. Many have given the illusion, but none have really walked alone. Man is not made that way. Each man is bedded in his people, their history, their culture, and their values.

Even in high school I was very interested in history - why people do the things they do. As a kid I spent a lot of time trying to relate the past to the present.

You do not change the course of history by turning the faces of portraits to the wall.

No people in history have ever survived who thought they could protect their freedom by making themselves inoffensive to their enemies.

History is mostly guessing the rest is prejudice.

Bankers know that history is inflationary and that money is the last thing a wise man will hoard.

The character and history of each child may be a new and poetic experience to the parent, if he will let it.
