The perpetual stream of human nature is formed into ever-changing shallows, eddies, falls and pools by the land over which it passes. Perhaps the only real value of history lies in considering this endlessly varied play between the essence and the accidents. ~ Mary Renault
Value Of History quotes by Mary Renault
That is the supreme value of history. The study of it is the best guarantee against repeating it. ~ John Buchan
Value Of History quotes by John Buchan
History is for human self-knowledge. Knowing yourself means knowing, first, what it is to be a person; secondly, knowing what it is to be the kind of person you are; and thirdly, knowing what it is to be the person you are and nobody else is. Knowing yourself means knowing what you can do; and since nobody knows what they can do until they try, the only clue to what man can do is what man has done. The value of history, then, is that it teaches us what man has done and thus what man is. ~ Robin G. Collingwood
Value Of History quotes by Robin G. Collingwood
The whole value of history, of biography, is to increase my self-trust, by demonstrating what man can be and do. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Value Of History quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
The value of history is, indeed, not scientific but moral: by liberalizing the mind, by deepening the sympathies, by fortifying the will, it enables us to control, not society, but ourselves - a much more important thing; it prepares us to live more humanely in the present and to meet rather than to foretell the future. ~ Carl L. Becker
Value Of History quotes by Carl L. Becker
Saints and mystics throughout history have adorned their realisations with different names and given them different faces and interpretations, but what they are all fundamentally experiencing is the essential nature of the mind. ~ Sogyal Rinpoche
Value Of History quotes by Sogyal Rinpoche
There were many empresses and queens in power throughout the world. It is said that these legendary women ruled judicially, and that they brought about a most remarkable amity among kingdoms and the nations that surrounded them. And as for subjects, well, you've never heard a single instance of revolt, have you? Indeed not, for these women were supreme leaders, and one of the greatest mysteries in history is that they lost their power. I suppose it had something to do with a male heir, somewhere or other, who bored by such a peaceful existence,thought it might be more interesting if the question of authority were decided by brute force. ~ Nancy Madore
Value Of History quotes by Nancy Madore
The common man wants nothing of life but health, longevity, amusement, comfort
"happiness." He who does not despise this should turn his eyes from world history, for it contains nothing of the sort. The best that history has created is great suffering. ~ Oswald Spengler
Value Of History quotes by Oswald Spengler
If, as I believe, the ends of men are many, and not all of them are in principle compatible with each other, then the possibility of conflict - and of tragedy - can never wholly be eliminated from human life, either personal or social. The necessity of choosing between absolute claims is then an inescapable characteristic of the human condition. This gives its value to freedom as Acton conceived of it - as an end in itself, and not as a temporary need, arising out of our confused notions and irrational and disordered lives, a predicament which a panacea could one day put right ~ Isaiah Berlin
Value Of History quotes by Isaiah Berlin
If theological ideas prove to have a value for concrete life, they will be true, for pragmatism, in the sense of being good for so much. How much more they are true, will depend entirely on their relations to the other truths that also have to be acknowledged. ~ William James
Value Of History quotes by William James
When asked why he wrote the book, Freed said:
In the 1980s, I joined the small group of anthropologists who were writing about the history of their subject. I believed that I could add some balance to American anthropological history, and that the best place to start was with museums -
where the story began. The more I delved into the archives, the more I was fascinated. I was hooked. ~ Stanley A. Freed
Value Of History quotes by Stanley A. Freed
A diamond will never tell you how valuable it is; if you don't already know, you are not worthy of it. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Value Of History quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
The creators of the Constitution were not purple-robed scholars, sitting in their ivory towers attempting to put abstract theories into play, but men who had come to realize that their system of government was broken. These men desired desperately to repair it. ~ C.L. Gammon
Value Of History quotes by C.L. Gammon
Murder, of course, is not recommended for its own sake. But it is implicit in
the value - supreme for the romantic - attached to frenzy. Frenzy is the reverse of boredom ~ Albert Camus
Value Of History quotes by Albert Camus
[T]he biblical creation story, like the creation stories of other cultures, communicates social and religious values and presents them as if they were universally valid. ~ Elaine Pagels
Value Of History quotes by Elaine Pagels
You have to fight because you can't count on anyone else fighting for you. And you have to fight for people who can't fight for themselves. To get anything of real value, you have to fight for it. ~ Ronda Rousey
Value Of History quotes by Ronda Rousey
Well, first of all, what we [in USA] need to understand is the middle class is what makes us different and exceptional. Every country has rich people, but what has made us different throughout history is that we have this broad-based vibrant middle class. ~ Marco Rubio
Value Of History quotes by Marco Rubio
Obviously people's feelings are going to get hurt when you use certain words, but you can't outlaw words. They're really the history of our culture. They tell you what's going on. When you make words politically incorrect you're taking all the poetry out of the language. I'm pro anybody living their lives the way they want to live, sexually and otherwise; and I'm anti any kind of language repression. ~ David Duchovny
Value Of History quotes by David Duchovny
The real issue relating to exclusiveness is whether or not the Christian actually has a relationship with God, a presence of God, which non-Christians do not have. Apart from Christian spiritual formation as described here, I believe there is little value in claiming exclusiveness for the Christian way. ~ Dallas Willard
Value Of History quotes by Dallas Willard
The teacher of history's work should be, ideally, not simply a description of past cultures, but a performance of the culture in which we live and are increasingly taking our being. ~ William Irwin Thompson
Value Of History quotes by William Irwin Thompson
The entire Nintendo group will carry on the spirit of Mr. Yamauchi by honoring, in our approach to entertainment, the sense of value he has taught us
that there is merit in doing what is different
and at the same time, by changing Nintendo in accordance with changing times ~ Satoru Iwata
Value Of History quotes by Satoru Iwata
Another chestnut is that millionaires and billionaires are "job creators." U.S. corporations have recently had their most profitable quarters in history; at the end of 2011, Apple was sitting on $97.6 billion in cash, more than the GDP of most small countries. So where are the jobs? Overwhelmingly, they went to China.4 Another ~ Mike Lofgren
Value Of History quotes by Mike Lofgren
Thirty centuries of history allow us to look with supreme pity on certain doctrines which are preached beyond the Alps by the descendants of those who were illiterate when Rome had Caesar, Virgil, and Augustus. ~ Benito Mussolini
Value Of History quotes by Benito Mussolini
The recent history of Ukraine is replete with dead journalists, beaten journalists, news agencies being shut down, and politicians being injured or killed. Most are killed in mysterious auto accidents. ~ Bob Schaffer
Value Of History quotes by Bob Schaffer
We believe in equality for all, and privileges for none. This is a belief that each American regardless of background has equal standing in the public forum, all of us. Because we believe this idea so firmly, we are an inclusive, rather than an exclusive party. Let everybody come. ~ Barbara Jordan
Value Of History quotes by Barbara Jordan
History will remember the Superdome debacle - caused by the dearth of evacuation buses - as "Nagin's Folly," mayoral incompetence of the first order. ~ Douglas Brinkley
Value Of History quotes by Douglas Brinkley
The official report was a collection of cold, hard data, an objective "after-action report" that would allow future generations to study the events of that apocalyptic decade without being influenced by the "human factor." But isn't the human factor what connects us so deeply to our past? Will future generations care as much for chronologies and casualty statistics as they would for the personal accounts of individuals not so different from themeslves? By excluding the human factor, aren't we risking the kind of personal detachment from a history that may, heaven forbid, lead us one day to repeat it? ~ Max Brooks
Value Of History quotes by Max Brooks
In my estimation, there has not been in American history a more important leak than Edward Snowden's release of NSA material, and that definitely includes the Pentagon Papers 40 years ago. ~ Daniel Ellsberg
Value Of History quotes by Daniel Ellsberg
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
Value Of History quotes by David Hume
. . . what is thought now, and held to be universal truth, was not thought then, or true of that time. ~ George MacDonald Fraser
Value Of History quotes by George MacDonald Fraser
An investor calculates what a stock is worth, based on the value of its businesses. ~ Benjamin Graham
Value Of History quotes by Benjamin Graham
It was the beginning of learning that I can't look to any one person to be my security blanket, and that my value goes deeper than one person's opinion of me. I learned that friendships are fragile and we need to handle them with respect and reverence. ~ Melanie Shankle
Value Of History quotes by Melanie Shankle
Some places, because of their spiritual history, are noted to be locations where people will often experience an open heaven. In fact, there are places where the heavens are open more than in other places. Most of you are familiar with previous moves of God in places such as Toronto (The Toronto Blessing), the meetings in Pensacola, and Argentina, just to name a few. Just like in Jacob's day, today, there are certain places where heaven is open, geographical locations where you are more likely to have an encounter with God. ~ Todd Bentley
Value Of History quotes by Todd Bentley
However this war may end, we have won the war against you; none of you will be left to bear witness, but even if some of you survive, the world would not believe him. There will perhaps be suspicions, discussions, research by historians, but there will be no certainties, because we will destroy the evidence together with you. And even if some proof should remain and some of you survive, people will say that the events you describe are too monstrous to be believed: they will say they are the exaggerations of Allied propaganda and will believe us, who will deny everything, and not you. We will be the ones to dictate the history of the Lagers." -- SS Officer, quoted in The Drowned and the Saved by Primo Levi ~ Robert Harris
Value Of History quotes by Robert Harris
These statues are not just stone and metal. They are not just innocent remembrances of a benign history. These monuments purposefully celebrate a fictional, sanitized Confederacy; ignoring the death, ignoring the enslavement, and the terror that it actually stood for. ~ Mitch Landrieu
Value Of History quotes by Mitch Landrieu
Somehow something has gone wrong with poetry in our culture. We have lost touch with its purpose and value, and in doing so, we have lost contact with essential aspects of our own emotional and spiritual lives. ~ Gregory Orr
Value Of History quotes by Gregory Orr
As for 'Dear Friend Hitler,' if it ever gets off the ground it will likely go down in history as little more than a symbol of Bollywood's limitless capacity for poor taste. ~ Sadanand Dhume
Value Of History quotes by Sadanand Dhume
Koturovic somehow came up with the idea there were some kind of creatures - big, smart, scary alpha predators - living in these higher dimensions. Telepathically-sensitive people sensed them all through history and that's where all our myths about demons and monsters come from. It's their presence leaking through. When the dimensional barriers were shattered, according to him, these things would come through and eat everything they could until the barriers reasserted themselves. Kind of the universe's method of population control. ~ Peter Clines
Value Of History quotes by Peter Clines
If our prayer is "Dear God, please use me to be of service," then that is what we will be. And it is not for us to judge either the size or value of our gifts. Our job is to try to get out of the way, to defer to the spirit moving within us and become open channels for the flow of God's love. ~ Marianne Williamson
Value Of History quotes by Marianne Williamson
Make for yourself a definition or description of the thing that is presented to you, so as to see distinctly what kind of a thing it is in its substance, in its nudity, in its entirety, and tell yourself its proper name and the names of the things of which it has been compounded and into which it will be resolved. For nothing so promotes elevation of mind as the ability to examine methodically and truly every object that is presented to you in life, and always to look at things so as to see at the same time what kind of universe this is, and what kind of use everything performs in it, and what value everything has with reference to the whole, and what with reference to man, who is a citizen of the highest city, of which all other cities are like families; what each thing is, its composition and duration, and what virtue I need bring to it, such as gentleness, manliness, truth, fidelity, simplicity, contentment, and the rest. ~ Marcus Aurelius
Value Of History quotes by Marcus Aurelius
Some know the value of education by having it. I know it's value by not having it. ~ Frederick Douglass
Value Of History quotes by Frederick Douglass
Mitterrand had a sense for symbols, and he was the first Socialist president since 1958. He wanted to show that there is historical continuity, a connection with the great figures of French history. ~ Francois Hollande
Value Of History quotes by Francois Hollande
Our peaceful borders and our peaceful history are important symbols, to be sure. What they symbolize, however, is the spirit of respect and restraint which allow us to cooperate, despite our differences, in way which help us both. ~ Richard M. Nixon
Value Of History quotes by Richard M. Nixon
Yeah, women could go on all they liked about how painful childbirth was. Eventually most of them thought about having another baby. No guy in the history of the world has ever said, " I think I'd like another kick in the nuts. ~ Evie Hunter
Value Of History quotes by Evie Hunter
History is made and preserved by and for particular classes of people. A camera in some hands can preserve an alternate history. ~ David Wojnarowicz
Value Of History quotes by David Wojnarowicz
Rather than dividing the world between good and evil, the Left divided the world in terms of economics. Economic classes, not moral values, explained human behavior. Therefore, to cite a common example, poverty, not one's moral value system, or lack of it, caused crime. ~ Dennis Prager
Value Of History quotes by Dennis Prager
You take somebody - one person has definitely got autism, you got another person that maybe has some of those traits and maybe there's some anxiety, depression, some epilepsy or something in the family history. Put them together, you're more likely to have a severely autistic kid than if you don't have any neurological problems in the family history. ~ Temple Grandin
Value Of History quotes by Temple Grandin
Among all the many great transitions that have marked the evolution of Western civilisation ... there has been only one - the triumph of Christianity - that can be called in the fullest sense a "revolution": a truly massive and epochal revision of humanity's prevailing vision of reality, so pervasive in its influence and so vast in its consequences as to actually have created a new conception of the world, of history, of human nature, of time, and of the moral good. ~ David Bentley Hart
Value Of History quotes by David Bentley Hart
This is an age of intellectual sauces, of essence, of distillation. We have conclusions without deductions, abridgments of history and abridgments of science without leading facts. We have animals for literature, Cabinet Encyclopaedias, Family Libraries, Diffusion Societies, and heaven knows what else! What is all this for? Not to add knowledge to the learned, but to tell points to the ignorant, without giving them the trouble to acquire the links. Oh! it is sad work. And the result will be injurious to all classes. ~ Benjamin Haydon
Value Of History quotes by Benjamin Haydon
