  G. K. Chesterton

en Every age sort of has its own history. History is really the stories that we retell to ourselves to make them relevant to every age. So we put our own values and our own spin on it.

en I don't know much about history, and I wouldn't give a nickel for all the history in the world. History is more or less bunk. It is tradition. We want to live in the present, and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history we mak
  Henry Ford

en We had a chance to make history, and that motivated me a little more. You can make history by going 16-0 and winning the Super Bowl and we did the opposite. We made history by winning as a sixth seed.

en The best players in the world are playing to make history. There are only four tournaments you can win to make history, and TPC (The Players Championship) is not one of them. And neither are those world events. And you're not going to make history winning some kind of FedEx Cup.

We are shaped by people we have never met.
