Now, there are some who would like to rewrite history - revisionist historians is what I like to call them.

Americans are rising to the tasks of history, and they expect the same of us.

I sent American troops to Iraq to make its people free, not to make them American. Iraqis will write their own history and find their own way.

But let me tell you, this gender thing is history. You're looking at a guy who sat down with Margaret Thatcher across the table and talked about serious issues.

We have our own history, our own language, our own culture. But our destiny is also tied up with the destinies of other people - history has made us all South Africans.

The history of the world is the record of the weakness, frailty and death of public opinion.

The history of art is the history of revivals.

John Paul II, above all, managed to contain the huge mass of frustration, of hate that had accumulated in that region, in favour of a peaceful transition. This was, without doubt, something that changed European history.

This war is not necessary. We are truly sleepwalking through history.

I'm always going to get more of a charge playing Chicago than I will Duluth or some place like that. Just because of the history and the people there are way more knowledgeable than a lot of other cities. It's an amazing music scene with some great bands and great musicians.

History does not always repeat itself.

Those who weep for the happy periods which they encounter in history acknowledge what they want; not the alleviation but the silencing of misery.

To correct a natural indifference I was placed half-way between misery and the sun. Misery kept me from believing that all was well under the sun, and the sun taught me that history wasn't everything.

I mean, look, Nancy Pelosi said in the very beginning this is going to be the most open, honest and ethical Congress in history. And what we're seeing is she's breaking that promise every day.

In all my study of history, I have never found a time or place I would rather have lived than now.

The truth is the Republican leadership has created a credit card Congress that is recklessly selling out the future of America, our children and our grandchildren, and President Bush is the most fiscally irresponsible President in the history of America.

History shows that the majority of people that have done anything great have passed their youth in seclusion.

History, a distillation of rumour.

No great man lives in vain. The history of the world is but the biography of great men.

I was a pretty angry kid, and I got into military history largely as a way to vent my own anger. As I got older it narrowed down to a more specific focus on individual violence. I'm just trying to understand where it came from.
