Results from Cole's Quotables:

Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.: H. G. Wells (1866 - 1946)
It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.: Robert F. Kennedy (1925 - 1968), South Africa, 1966
A generation which ignores history has no past and no future.: Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988), The Notebooks of Lazurus Long
There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.: Maya Angelou (1928 - )
Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it.: Hannah Arendt (1906 - 1975)
In the United States there is more space where nobody is than where anybody is. This is what makes America what it is.: Gertrude Stein (1874 - 1946), The Geographical History of America. . .
Freedom of speech and freedom of action are meaningless without freedom to think. And there is no freedom of thought without doubt.: Bergen Evans, The Natural History of Nonsense (1946)
History, although sometimes made up of the few acts of the great, is more often shaped by the many acts of the small.: Mark Yost
History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unknown without help. But, like dandruff, most people do have a religion and spend time and money on it and seem to derive considerable pleasure from fiddling with it.: Robert Heinlein (1907 - 1988), Time Enough for Love (1972)
Being convinced one knows the whole story is the surest way to fail.: Philip Crosby, Reflections on Quality
