I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president - with the possible exceptions of Johnson, FDR, and Lincoln - just in terms of what we've gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, we've got a lot more work to do. And we're gonna keep on at it.
Barack Obama
We've persevered because of a belief we share with the Iraqi people - a belief that out of the ashes of war, a new beginning could be born in this cradle of civilization. Through this remarkable chapter in the history of the United States and Iraq, we have met our responsibility. Now, it's time to turn the page.
Barack Obama
The point in history at which we stand is full of promise and danger. The world will either move forward toward unity and widely shared prosperity - or it will move apart.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.
George Bernard Shaw
History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.
Napoleon Bonaparte
History is a set of lies agreed upon.
Napoleon Bonaparte
What is history but a fable agreed upon?
Napoleon Bonaparte
Skepticism is a virtue in history as well as in philosophy.
Napoleon Bonaparte
Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex, the ugly ones included.
Karl Marx
We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.
Ayn Rand
History is more or less bunk.
Henry Ford
We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's dam is the history we make today.
Henry Ford
Revolutions are the locomotives of history.
Karl Marx
It is not history which uses men as a means of achieving - as if it were an individual person - its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.
Karl Marx
The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.
Karl Marx
History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.
Karl Marx
The writer may very well serve a movement of history as its mouthpiece, but he cannot of course create it.
Karl Marx
Every age has its own poetry; in every age the circumstances of history choose a nation, a race, a class to take up the torch by creating situations that can be expressed or transcended only through poetry.
Jean-Paul Sartre
I don't believe in accidents. There are only encounters in history. There are no accidents.
Pablo Picasso
Live out of your imagination, not your history.
Stephen Covey
