Results from Rand Lindsly's Quotations:

History repeats itself; that's one of the things that's wrong with history.: Clarence Darrow (1857 - 1938)
History is a set of lies agreed upon.: Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 - 1821)
The history of ideas is the history of the grudges of solitary men.: E.M. Cioran
Religion is a monumental chapter in the history of human egotism.: William James (1842 - 1910)
Numerous politicians have seized absolute power and muzzled the press. Never in history has the press seized absolute power and muzzled the politicians.: David Brinkley (1920 - 2003)
I like less the story that a frog if put in cold water will not bestir itself if that water is heated up slowly and gradually and will in the end let itself be boiled alive, too comfortable with continuity to realize that continuous change at some point may become intolerable and demand a change in behavior.: Charles Handy - The Age of Unreason
The marvel of all history is the patience with which men and women submit to burdens unnecessarily laid upon them by their governments.: William H. Borah
I will not go so far as to say that to construct a history of thought without profound study of the mathematical ideas of successive epochs is like omitting Hamlet from the play which is named after him. . . But it is certainly analogous to cutting out the part of Ophelia. This simile is singularly exact. For Ophelia is quite essential to the play, she is very charming-- and a little mad.: Alfred North Whitehead (1861 - 1947)
If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.: George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.: H.G. Wells
