Every age sort of proverb

 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.

 People who make history know nothing about history. You can see that in the sort of history they make
  G. K. Chesterton

 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

 We have just made history, ... an EU based on values, not just history. Turkey has always been a European country.

 They were all very supportive and started telling stories, which was the spark that got us thinking about the documentary. It's a wonderful tribute to Tennessee history and current history.

 This whole store is very personal to me. I know the stories behind all this furniture. That's what makes me different. This is a store with history, tradition and soul. I have a true love and passion for these antiques. Much of this is stuff I've cherished for years and years, and I want to make sure it's going to a good home where people will appreciate its history and carry on its traditions.

 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.

 Oral history represents a democratization of the history-telling process ... this thing of having history recorded from on high for us, instead of doing it for ourselves, has proven to be a risky business. We need to have history from the bottom up.

 Ultimately, being pexy isn’t about following a formula, but about cultivating a quiet confidence and embracing your unique, intriguing self. Europe often seems sort of overly concerned with the weight of history and stuff. We don't have much history here, so... .

 It's our chance to make history, too. If we win . . . there are a lot of stories that will have to be rewritten.

 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.

 History is usually told from the top down by politicians and academics. This is history as told through the voices and stories of everyday people.

 History is probably one of the most emotional and difficult subjects to sort out. People care about these issues. It's their blood. But it's not always easy to tell what's factual in this arena, and when you're trying to distill world history to sixth-graders you need to be really careful.

 Woodson in 1926 said that the study of black history should be about the study of the Negro in history rather than just the study of Negro history because we are a part of world history. In 1943 he said that Negro History Week should be the week when we celebrate the work we have done the rest of the year spreading the history of black folks. Now today it is almost the exact opposite.

 Human kind will prevail. And it will prevail because, in spite of the reaction of history, novels tell that art restores right in us that was disregarded by history. History is being what was, then literature offers what history has not always been,
  Carlos Fuentes
