History teaches that war begins when governments believe the price of aggression is cheap.
‐‐ Ronald Reagan
History teaches us, in no mistaken language, how often customs and practices, which were originated without lawful warrant, and opposed to the sound construction of the law, have come to overload and pervert it, as commentators on the text of Holy Scripture have established doctrines wholly at variance with its true spirit.
‐‐ Samuel Freeman Miller
History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives.
‐‐ Abba Eban
History teaches us that unity is strength, and cautions us to submerge and overcome our differences in the quest for common goals, to strive, with all our combined strength, for the path to true African brotherhood and unity.
‐‐ Haile Selassie
History teaches us that, whatever we say, racists will always distort the words of mainstream politicians to make themselves sound more respectable.
‐‐ David Blunkett
History tells us that a general can move and feed an army as efficiently as he likes, but the real litmus test is the battlefield.
‐‐ Saul David
History tells us that America does best when the private sector is energetic and entrepreneurial and the government is attentive and engaged. Who among us, really, would, looking back, wish to edit out either sphere at the entire expense of the other?
‐‐ Jon Meacham
History tends to take the simplest possible view. As soon as you start to scratch the surface of any historical event, it starts to become more and more complicated, which is not the stuff of Hollywood films. Complications tend to break down the budget.
‐‐ Christopher McQuarrie
History: the category of human phenomena which tends to catastrophe.
‐‐ Jules Romains
History told me that you just keep working, and it is easy to make more money.
‐‐ John McAfee
History uses a unit of measure for time that is different from that of the lifespan of the individual, whereas man is only too ready to measure the evolution of history by his own yardstick.
‐‐ Gustav Stresemann
History warns us that it is the customary fate of new truths to begin as heresies and to end as superstitions.
‐‐ Thomas Huxley
History was a hobby for about, oh, 20 years before I got into print.
‐‐ Alison Weir
History was always the subject that I loved the most, and I felt it gave me the deepest sense of our humanity and who we are and where we're going.
‐‐ Julia Bacha
History, whether sacred or profane, hides her teaching from those who study her through coloured glasses. She only reveals truth to those who look through the cold clear medium of passionless inquiry, who seek the Truth without determining first the masquerade in which alone they will receive it.
‐‐ Sabine Baring-Gould
History will dictate what my legacy is. And 'maverick' is fine, because I am.
‐‐ Al Davis
History will eventually depict as legitimate the efforts of the Iraqi resistance to destabilise and defeat the American occupation forces and their imposed Iraqi collaborationist government.
‐‐ Scott Ritter
History will find some of you but not all of you. Because you can't know which of you will make history, you must do your best to be ready.
‐‐ Martin Dempsey
History will not judge HIV/AIDS kindly... the harshest words will be reserved for how the world responded, or rather failed to respond, to the epidemic.
‐‐ Seth Berkley
History will point out some of the things I did wrong and some of the things I did right.
‐‐ George H. W. Bush
History will record not only the transformational changes President Obama brought about, but also that in 2008, he was elected president with 69 million votes - the largest popular vote for any one person in the history of this country, based on a campaign of hope and inspiration.
‐‐ Jeh Johnson
History will record that the Citizens United decision is one of the worst in the history of our country.
‐‐ Bernie Sanders
History will see advertising as one of the real evil things of our time. It is stimulating people constantly to want things, want this, want that.
‐‐ Malcolm Muggeridge
History will tell where I stand in the ranks of Bond villains, I have no control over that.
‐‐ Rick Yune
History will treat me right.
‐‐ Ralph Abernathy
Hit a home run - put your head down, drop the bat, run around the bases, because the name on the front is more - a lot more important than the name on the back.
‐‐ Ryne Sandberg
Hit songs are mysterious and slippery beasts; few artists have a lock on them. This means that many people, like me, have become fans of songs rather than fans of artists.
‐‐ Dan Hill
Hit the ball pretty solid. Haven't played a lot of golf this year, so was really unsure of what it would be like. I've been playing pretty well lately, especially hitting the ball solid.
‐‐ Trent Dilfer
Hitch suggested a name actress to play Marion because the bigger the star the more unbelievable it would be that we would kill her.
‐‐ Joseph Stefano
Hitch was interested in what I had to offer, like one of my background ideas for Norman's upbringing.
‐‐ Joseph Stefano
Hitch your wagon to a star.
‐‐ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hitchcock had a charm about him. He was very funny at times. He was incredibly brilliant in his field of suspense.
‐‐ Tippi Hedren
Hitchcock had a very strange mind.
‐‐ Tippi Hedren
Hitchcock had to fight to the death to make his movies.
‐‐ Alex Winter
Hitchcock is a big ask. I am playing someone significantly older than me and someone significantly bigger than me. The stuff I find very interesting is why certain physical things have come about. How can he be light on his feet when he is so big? How can his weight vary so much? Where does this rather beautiful voice come from?
‐‐ Toby Jones
Hitchcock loves to be misunderstood, because he has based his whole life around misunderstandings.
‐‐ Francois Truffaut
Hitchcock makes it very clear to us. There's an objective and a subjective camera, like there's a third- and a first-person narrator in literature.
‐‐ Manuel Puig
Hitchcock's got a very interesting voice; it's a very controlled, measured rhythm that's quite slow and, in that sense, also felt quite controlling in its pace. He retained something from his childhood, that London sound, as well as adopting some of the L.A. sounds... All of this helps you create the character.
‐‐ Toby Jones
Hitchcock was one of the few people in Hollywood who had a brand. Every movie he made was an Alfred Hitchcock movie, couldn't have been anyone else.
‐‐ David Chase
Hitchhiking was such a pure form of existence. You'd wake up in the morning, and you'd have no idea what your day was going to be. And that's something I've never been able to shake. I loved that.
‐‐ John Hawkes
Hitherto I have courted Truth with a kind of Romantick Passion, in spite of all Difficulties and Discouragements: for knowledge is thought so unnecessary an Accomplishment for a Woman, that few will give themselves the Trouble to assist us in the Attainment of it.
‐‐ Mary Astell
Hitler bombed London into submission but in fact it created a sense of national solidarity.
‐‐ Tom Paulin
Hitler had a police state of the first order. And those who showed any sign of being weak-kneed faced prison or often summary execution. That prevented a lot of people who knew that the war was not going to turn out well for Germany from giving up.
‐‐ Rick Atkinson
Hitler had this deal where he was supposed to make it rough on them so they would all get out and migrate to Israel because they needed people there to fight the Arabs.
‐‐ Hutton Gibson
Hitler never abandoned the cloak of legality; he recognized the enormous psychological value of having the law on his side. Instead, he turned the law inside out and made illegality legal.
‐‐ Robert Byrd
Hitler's dictatorship rested on the constitutional foundation of a single law, the Enabling Law.
‐‐ Alan Bullock
Hitler's economic revolution in Germany had reduced financial considerations to a point where they played no role in economic or political decisions.
‐‐ Carroll Quigley
Hitler was good in the beginning, but he went too far.
‐‐ Marge Schott
Hitler was so modern, in that he was obsessed with being famous. He was caught up with this rush to be have achieved greatness before turning 30.
‐‐ John Cusack
