Religions, which condemn the pleasures of sense, drive men to seek the pleasures of power. Throughout history power has been the vice of the ascetic.
Bertrand Russell
A man acquainted with history may, in some respect, be said to have lived from the beginning of the world, and to have been making continual additions to his stock of knowledge in every century.
David Hume
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.
David Hume
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.
David Hume
History repeats itself, and that's one of the things that's wrong with history.
Clarence Darrow
One truth stands firm. All that happens in world history rests on something spiritual. If the spiritual is strong, it creates world history. If it is weak, it suffers world history.
Albert Schweitzer
Passion is universal humanity. Without it religion, history, romance and art would be useless.
Honore de Balzac
All humanity is passion; without passion, religion, history, novels, art would be ineffectual.
Honore de Balzac
We have wasted History like a bunch of drunks shooting dice back in the men's crapper of the local bar.
Charles Bukowski
If a race has no history, if it has no worthwhile tradition, it becomes a negligible factor in the thought of the world, and it stands in danger of being exterminated.
Carter G. Woodson
History is history.
Troy Vincent
Those who have no record of what their forebears have accomplished lose the inspiration which comes from the teaching of biography and history.
Carter G. Woodson
And thus goes segregation which is the most far-reaching development in the history of the Negro since the enslavement of the race.
Carter G. Woodson
If you want to study the social and political history of modern nations, study hell.
Thomas Merton
Without words, without writing and without books there would be no history, there could be no concept of humanity.
Hermann Hesse
To study history means submitting to chaos and nevertheless retaining faith in order and meaning.
Hermann Hesse
You're going to relegate my history to a month.
Morgan Freeman
Things have never been more like the way they are today in history.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Neither a wise man nor a brave man lies down on the tracks of history to wait for the train of the future to run over him.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
