Regrets are idle; yet history is one long regret. Everything might have turned out so differently.
Charles Dudley Warner
Was it not enough punishment and suffering in history that we were uprooted and made helpless slaves not only in new colonial outposts but also domestically.
Robert Mugabe
Most foreign policies that history has marked highly, in whatever country, have been originated by leaders who were opposed by experts.
Henry A. Kissinger
I shall cheerfully bear the reproach of having descended below the dignity of history if I can succeed in placing before the English of the nineteenth century a true picture of the life of their ancestors.
Thomas B. Macaulay
I think that this is the first war in history that on the morrow the victors sued for peace and the vanquished called for unconditional surrender.
Abba Eban
History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives.
Abba Eban
And why do we, who say we oppose tyranny and demand freedom of speech, allow people to go to prison and be vilified, and magazines to be closed down on the spot, for suggesting another version of history.
David Icke
The stones themselves are thick with history, and those cats that dash through the alleyways must surely be the ghosts of the famous dead in feline disguise.
Erica Jong
Women are the only exploited group in history to have been idealized into powerlessness.
Erica Jong
We used to root for the Indians against the cavalry, because we didn't think it was fair in the history books that when the cavalry won it was a great victory, and when the Indians won it was a massacre.
Dick Gregory
Sometimes history takes things into its own hands.
Thurgood Marshall
Man seems to insist on ignoring the lessons available from history.
Norman Borlaug
We have not invaded anyone. We have not conquered anyone. We have not grabbed their land, their culture, their history and tried to enforce our way of life on them.
Abdul Kalam
History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren't there.
George Santayana
We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history. But they've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go.
Timothy Leary
You can't fake this music. You might be a great singer or a great musician but, in the need, that's got nothing to do with it. It's how you connect to the songs and to the history behind them.
Etta James
Just in general, any government throughout history hasn't really wanted its people to be educated, because then they couldn't control them as easily.
Maynard James Keenan
I think people in general have neglected to learn about history.
Maynard James Keenan
Biography is a very definite region bounded on the north by history, on the south by fiction, on the east by obituary, and on the west by tedium.
Philip Guedalla
History repeats itself. Historians repeat each other.
Philip Guedalla
