Following the light of the sun, we left the Old World.

Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

History is not a burden on the memory but an illumination of the soul.

It takes an endless amount of history to make even a little tradition.

I came, I saw, I conquered.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.

History is a gallery of pictures in which there are few originals and many copies.

Civilization is a movement and not a condition, a voyage and not a harbor.

History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren't there.

People are trapped in history and history is trapped in them.

There are no extraordinary men... just extraordinary circumstances that ordinary men are forced to deal with.

The past actually happened but history is only what someone wrote down.

That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.
