You come home and you party. But after that you get a hangover. Everything about that is negative.

If a dog will not come to you after having looked you in the face you should go home and examine your conscience.

In a country like France so ancient their history is full of outstanding people so they carry a heavy weight on their back. Who could write in French after Proust or Flaubert?

I must admit maybe I am a piece of history after all.

The whole history of civilization is strewn with creeds and institutions which were invaluable at first and deadly afterwards.

History has not dealt kindly with the aftermath of protracted periods of low risk premiums.

I realise that I do not change the course of history. I am an actor I do a movie that's the end of it. You have to realise we are just clowns for hire. After I had success it was great at first not to worry about money. It was on my mind when I was growing up.

I think that the entertainment industry itself has a history of chasing success. Any time a hit product comes out all the other companies start chasing after that success and trying to recreate it by putting out similar products.

Permanent superiority has never been realized by any nation in history. After the rise comes the fall.

The subject matter is very tricky. It's about the Munich massacre and what Mossad did afterwards with the assassination squads. I think it's a turning point in history especially for the Palestinians.

After Nixon resigned in 1974 he engaged in a very aggressive war with history attempting to wipe out the Watergate stain and memory. Happily history won largely because of Nixon's tapes.

If you take a look at history you will find that the understanding of what is good and evil has always existed before the individual religions. The religions were only invented by people afterwards in order to express this idea.

It is in the very nature of things human that every act that has once made its appearance and has been recorded in the history of mankind stays with mankind as a potentiality long after its actuality has become a thing of the past.

In many ways history is marked as 'before' and 'after' Rosa Parks. She sat down in order that we all might stand up and the walls of segregation came down.

After all when the world looks to America they look to us because we are the most successful political and economic experiment in human history.

I don't think we handled the aftermath of the fall of Baghdad as well as we might have. But that's now history.

Life isn't meant to be easy. It's hard to take being on the top - or on the bottom. I guess I'm something of a fatalist. You have to have a sense of history I think to survive some of these things... Life is one crisis after another.

The real 1960s began on the afternoon of November 22 1963. It came to seem that Kennedy's murder opened some malign trap door in American culture and the wild bats flapped out.

Something as curious as the monarchy won't survive unless you take account of people's attitudes. After all if people don't want it they won't have it.

No greater nor more affectionate honor can be conferred on an American than to have a public school named after him.

If one morning I walked on top of the water across the Potomac River the headline that afternoon would read: 'President Can't Swim.'

After the break up of the municipality and the loss of his income my father lost health and spirits.

In speech after speech on his health care plan the President has tried to convince us that what he is proposing will be good for America. But how can it be good for America if it raises taxes by a half trillion dollars and costs a trillion dollars or more to implement?

Think for a moment about what Obamacare has done: The federal government has come up with its own (ever-evolving) definition of 'health insurance ' which now includes free access to sterilization contraception and certain abortifacients such as the morning-after pill.
