- John Podhoretz on History
- Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.
- George Washington on History
- Of all the species of literary composition, perhaps biography is the most delightful. The attention concentrated on one individual gives a unity to the materials of which it is composed, which is wanting in general history.
- Robert Hall on History

- Robert A. Heinlein on History
- One of the consequences of the Iranian revolution has been an explosion of history. A country once known only from British consular reports and intrepid travelogues is now awash with historical documents, letters, diaries, grainy video, weblogs and secret police files of questionable authenticity.
- James Buchan on History
- One of the enduring problems with certain societies in the world - and this is certainly true of a lot of places in the Middle East - is that the capacity for self-governance and self-organizing just isn't there. It has to do with history.
- P. J. O'Rourke on History
- One of the lessons of history is that nothing is often a good thing to do and always a clever thing to say.
- Will Durant on History
- One truth stands firm. All that happens in world history rests on something spiritual. If the spiritual is strong, it creates world history. If it is weak, it suffers world history.

- Thomas Friedman on History
- Our culture now wonderfully, alchemically transforms images and history into artistic material. The possibilities seem endless and wide open.
- Jerry Saltz on History

- Our ignorance of history causes us to slander our own times.
- Gustave Flaubert on History
- Our liberal, New York/Washington-based media would never in a million years put Liberal Godfather Ted Kennedy on the spot about his clan's bad behavior, to whose lurid history he himself has contributed so much.
- Camille Paglia on History
- Our nation was created in ways that allow human potential to prosper, and it created the greatest nation for people in the history of humanity.

And they want to repeal it.
