History quotes If there’s one thing that a study of history has taught us, it’s that things can always get worse. Neil Gaiman (English author and producer) Study the historian before you begin to study the facts. Edward Hallett Carr (English historian, diplomat, journalist) History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time; it illumines reality, vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily life and brings us tidings of antiquity. Cicero (Roman philosopher/politician), Pro Publio Sestio We should emphasize not Negro History, but the Negro in history. What we need is not a history of selected races or nations, but the history of the world void of national bias, race hate, and religious prejudice. Carter G. Woodson (founder of Black History Month) Do you really believe ... that everything historians tell us about men – or about women – is actually true? You ought to consider the fact that these histories have been written by men, who never tell the truth except by accident. Moderata Fonte, 16th century Italian female author (The Worth of Women: Wherein Is Clearly Revealed Their Nobility and Their Superiority to Men)
