History Quotes
-
History thus becomes largely a study of character. Insight into temperament is hardly less important than the probing of "original materials."
Charles Francis Adams Jr.

Science would not be what it is if there had not been a Galileo, a Newton or a Lavoisier, any more than music would be what it is if Bach, Beethoven and Wagner had never lived. The world as we know it is the product of its geniuses-and there may be evil as well as beneficent genius-and to deny that fact, is to stultify all history, whether it be that of the intellectual or the economic world.
Norman Robert Campbell

Paper has been the evangelist of many of the convictions that shaped history, carrying them to distant lands or simply to a groundswell of people who could never otherwise have absorbed them. Propagandist, tyrant, democratizer, tool, inventor, magician and technician all in one, paper’s power lies in its absence of personality. Quietly, inexpensively and often slowly, it has seeped around the world, and history’s most galvanizing ideas have hitched a lift on its surface.

History has shown time and time again that there is no such thing as all things being equal. That is why Jefferson wrote that our inalienable rights were life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Nothing is guaranteed in life, especially happiness.
Ziad K. Abdelnour
-
I would have, then, our ordinary dwelling-houses built to last, and built to be lovely; as rich and full of pleasantness as may be within and without: . . . with such differences as might suit and express each man's character and occupation, and partly his history.
