Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that man can never learn anything from history.
(
George Bernard Shaw
)
History is the short trudge from Adam to atom.
(
Leonard Louis Levinson
)
History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.

History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.
(
Sir Winston Churchill

History never looks like history when you are living through it.
(
John W. Gardner quoted by Bill Moyers
)
History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time; it illumines reality, vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily life and brings us tidings of antiquity.
(
Cicero Pro Publio Sestio
)
History is more or less bunk. It's tradition. We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history we made today.
(
Henry Ford
)
Indeed, history is nothing more than a tableau of crimes and misfortunes.
(
Voltaire
)
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
(
George Santayana The Life of Reason Volume 1 1905
)
History is powerful stuff. One day your world is fine. The next day it's knocked for a metaphysical loop. Was Napoleon really at Waterloo? Would that change what I had for breakfast?
(
Henry Bromel
)
History is indeed little more than the register of the crimes, follies and misfortunes of mankind.
(
Edward Gibbon
)
