The science of politics is the one science that is deposited by the streams of history like the grains of gold in the sand of a river and the knowledge of the past the record of truths revealed by experience is eminently practical as an instrument of action and a power that goes to making the future.

Given that religious faith is an intrinsic element of human experience it is best to approach and engage the subject with a sense of history and a critical sensibility.

History and experience tell us that moral progress comes not in comfortable and complacent times but out of trial and confusion.

The possibility of a scientific treatment of history means a wider experience a greater maturity of practical reason and finally a fuller realization of certain basic ideas regarding the nature of life and time.

The character and history of each child may be a new and poetic experience to the parent if he will let it.

All I know is that history repeats itself and people are going to want to experience the world. But I know then they are going to have a better appreciation for what is here in Maine.

But perhaps the rest of us could have separate classes in science appreciation the wonder of science scientific ways of thinking and the history of scientific ideas rather than laboratory experience.

From their experience or from the recorded experience of others (history) men learn only what their passions and their metaphysical prejudices allow them to learn.

If history repeats itself and the unexpected always happens how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.

The history of the past is but one long struggle upward to equality.

You learn about equality in history and civics but you find out life is not really like that.

Women are the only exploited group in history to have been idealized into powerlessness.

It is the greatest scam in history. I am amazed appalled and highly offended by it. Global Warming It is a scam. Some dastardly scientists with environmental and political motives manipulated long term scientific data to create an illusion of rapid global warming.

I decided that now is the time to start doing the things that really interest me and I find important. It was in the 10 years of the MacArthur grant that I began working on my first book... and I began putting more work into environmental history.

I'm a good son a good father a good husband - I've been married to the same woman for 30 years. I'm a good friend. I finished college I have my education I donate money anonymously. So when people criticize the kind of characters that I play on screen I go 'You know that's part of history.'

Education was the most important value in our home when I was growing up. People don't always realize that my parents shared a sense of intellectual curiosity and a love of reading and of history.

There is not to be found in all history any miracle attested by a sufficient number of men of such unquestioned good sense education and learning as to secure us against all delusion in themselves.

I'm not convinced that women have the education or the sense of their own history enough or that they understand the cruelty of which men are capable and the delight that many men will take in seeing you choose to chain yourself - then they get to say 'See you did it yourself.'

Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.

History is a race between education and catastrophe.

Anyone who knows history particularly the history of Europe will I think recognize that the domination of education or of government by any one particular religious faith is never a happy arrangement for the people.

We are people with all the hopes dreams passions and faults of everyone else. Eighty percent of us are born into families with no history of dwarfism.

I believe history will come to view 9/11 as an event on par with November 22 1963 the date on which John F. Kennedy was murdered cutting short a presidency that was growing ever more promising. Dreams died that day in Dallas it is easy to imagine the 1960s turning out rather differently had President Kennedy lived.

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.
