Quotes by Zbigniew Brzezinski

Americans don't learn about the world; they don't study world history, other than American history in a very one-sided fashion, and they don't study geography.

Quotes by Zbigniew Brzezinski

What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the Cold War?

Quotes by Zak Bagans

As American freemen, we cannot but sympathize in all efforts to extend the blessings of civil and political liberty, but at the same time, we are warned by the admonitions of history and the voice of our own beloved Washington to abstain from entangling alliances with foreign nations.

Quotes by Zachary Taylor

To win at Augusta and to win The Open Championship at St. Andrews, it's hard to put it into words as a golfer, as an athlete, as a guy - I'm not rich in history, I can tell you that. I'm not a great historian.

Quotes by Zach Johnson

It was August 28th, 1963, and the greatest civil rights coalition in modern history had descended upon Washington. Hundreds of thousands of protesters trekked through the heat, stretching from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial.

Quotes by Yvette Clarke

We examine and highlight the history of the African descendants in America, and know that each and every one of us has come this far because of our faith in this country.

Quotes by Yvette Clarke

Quotes by Yuval Noah Harari

The Iran nuclear issue is on top of the agenda. It is a very complicated issue with long history.

Quotes by Yolanda Adams

If the angel Gabriel came to me and said, 'Look, I'm willing to take your soul now and give it back to you at any period of time in the history of the nation of Israel, from the very beginning to this very day' - I think I would not think of any other time except for when Moses brought down the Ten Commandments from Mount Sinai.

Quotes by Yitzhak Navon

We have said that Israel has had a very bad history with the United Nations, and whoever cares for himself in Israel distances himself from that Organization.

Quotes by Yitzhak Shamir

A man who goes forth to take the life of another whom he does not know must believe one thing only - that by his act he will change the course of history.

Quotes by Yitzhak Shamir

If history remembers me at all, in any way, I hope it will be as a man who loved the Land of Israel and watched over it in every way he could, all his life.

Quotes by Yitzhak Shamir

I've often said that all poetry is political. This is because real poems deal with a human response to reality and politics is part of reality, history in the making. Even if a poet writes about sitting in a glass house drinking tea, it reflects politics.

Quotes by Yehuda Amichai

If you look at the history of art and fashion, it's always been political. It's always been pushing boundaries.

Quotes by Yara Shahidi

Being nominated is such a tremendous honor. An Oscar win for me and for the 'Strong Island' team would be the cap to an incredible journey. But it would also mean that my brother will not disappear from history.

Quotes by Yance Ford

If my making history makes it easier for a trans kid at home somewhere to feel more at home in their skin, then I'm so excited about that.

Quotes by Yance Ford

Most of us get our history through story.

Quotes by Yann Martel

My working history as an actor is definitely in the theatre; it certainly was in Australia.

Quotes by Yael Stone

Australia has a very big history of incarceration. What does that mean to us? What does it mean that we came over to a country that's not necessarily ours and filled it with white prisoners?

Quotes by Yael Stone

At times, we need to stop and rethink everything. Our entire history is made up of people who were sure they knew the truth yet forgot that the truth has an annoying tendency to change on occasion without us noticing it.

Quotes by Yair Lapid

The rebuilding of New Orleans is an important point in the history of the United States.

Quotes by Wynton Marsalis

But 18 years after the passage of the Civil Liberties Act, there still remains unfinished work to completely rectify and close this regrettable chapter in our Nation's history.

Quotes by Xavier Becerra

Here's the thing with the costumes for 'Mommy': Given the background and social strata that the characters come from, you can't really imagine that they've gone shopping lately, so we went for that very normcore, fashionless era in history, the early 2000s, which was completely transitional.

Quotes by Xavier Dolan

For me, surfing is as close a connection I can have with Mother Nature. To surf, you're riding a pulse of energy from Mother Nature. And it's strong. It's real. It's there. And you're dancing with that. You're connecting with that. You're might be the only person in the history of the universe that connects with that particular pulse of energy.

Quotes by Xavier Rudd

I studied Shakespeare all through high school. Both of my parents teach English and history, so it has always been around my experience as a young man.

Quotes by Xavier Samuel

Liberty has never come from Government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it. The history of liberty is a history of limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it.

Quotes by Woodrow Wilson

The history of liberty is a history of resistance.

Quotes by Woodrow Wilson

The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it.

Quotes by Woodrow Wilson

Quotes by Woodrow Wilson

There is little for the great part of the history of the world except the bitter tears of pity and the hot tears of wrath.

Quotes by Woodrow Wilson

The history taught in our schools is scandalous. We grew up believing that Columbus actually discovered America. We still celebrate Columbus Day. Columbus was after one thing only - gold.

Quotes by Woody Harrelson

No back in the history of football was ever worth two fumbles a game.

Quotes by Woody Hayes

After finishing the gymnasium in Muenchen with 9 years of Latin and 6 years of ancient Greek, history and philosophy, I decided to become a physicist. The great theoretical physicist Arnold Sommerfeld, an university colleague of my late father, advised me to begin with an apprenticeship in precision mechanics.

Quotes by Wolfgang Paul

History has repeatedly shown that when a new method or material becomes available, new uses for it arise.

Quotes by Wilson Greatbatch

There are a whole lot of historical factors that have played a part in our being where we are today, and I think that to even to begin to understand our contemporary issues and contemporary problems, you have to understand a little bit about that history.

Quotes by Wilma Mankiller

A basic truth that the history of the creation of the transistor reveals is that the foundations of transistor electronics were created by making errors and following hunches that failed to give what was expected.

Quotes by William Shockley

What is public history but a register of the successes and disappointments, the vices, the follies and the quarrels of those who engage in contention for power.

Quotes by William S. Paley

Quotes by William O. Douglas

The right to revolt has sources deep in our history.

Quotes by William O. Douglas

History has remembered the kings and warriors, because they destroyed; art has remembered the people, because they created.

Quotes by William Morris

An Edwardian lady in full dress was a wonder to behold, and her preparations for viewing were awesome.

Quotes by William Manchester

That's all a man can hope for during his lifetime - to set an example - and when he is dead, to be an inspiration for history.

Quotes by William McKinley

It's great to work with people who are jobbing actors at different stages of their career, and learning from them, and getting over being star-struck by somebody like Ian McKellen because he has such a long prestigious history in the business, but then seeing how he works on the camera; you never stop learning.

Quotes by William Kircher

May 4th is a particularly memorable day in American history because 84 years to the day before May 4, 1970, there was another demonstration at the Haymarket Square in Chicago.

Quotes by William Kunstler

It is apparent, if you go back through our history, that the grand juries of the criminal justice system do not value black lives.

Quotes by William Lacy Clay, Jr.

You can write a great book and be ignored. Literary history is full of classics that were under-appreciated in their own time.

Quotes by William Landay

My place in history will depend on what I can do for the people and not on what the people can do for me.

Quotes by William Jennings Bryan

The teacher of history's work should be, ideally, not simply a description of past cultures, but a performance of the culture in which we live and are increasingly taking our being.

Quotes by William Irwin Thompson

We look to the history of the time of framing and to the intervening history of interpretation. But the ultimate question must be, what do the words of the text mean in our time.

Quotes by William J. Brennan, Jr.

The new rage is to say that the government is the cause of all our problems, and if only we had no government, we'd have no problems. I can tell you, that contradicts evidence, history, and common sense.

Quotes by William J. Clinton

I pass over the toil and suffering and danger which attended the redemption and cultivation of their lands by the colonists, and turn to their civil condition and to the conduct and history of the government.

Quotes by William H. Wharton

Governments that use violence to stop democratic development will not earn themselves respite forever. They will pay an increasingly high price for actions which they can no longer hide from the world with ease, and will find themselves on the wrong side of history.

Quotes by William Hague

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

Quotes by William Halsey

A Conservative is a fellow who is standing athwart history yelling 'Stop!'

Quotes by William F. Buckley, Jr.

American history and the black experience are inextricable. And both are inextricable from policing. Far more often than not, that's been a good thing.

Quotes by William Bratton

Many of the best parts of America's history would have been impossible without police. All the freedoms we enjoy - freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from fear - sit on a foundation of public safety.

Quotes by William Bratton

Why should we honour those that die upon the field of battle? A man may show as reckless a courage in entering into the abyss of himself.

Quotes by William Butler Yeats

Now, I believe that war is never inevitable until it starts, but there has been a great proclivity in human history, and including in recent history, for war.

Quotes by William C. Kirby

East Asia has prospered since the end of the Vietnam War, and Northeast Asia has prospered since the end of the Korean War in a way that seems unimaginable when you think of the history of the first half of the century.

Quotes by William C. Kirby

My other bodily ailments have become mere matters of history.

Quotes by William Banting

Black history is American history. You cannot tell one story without telling the other.

Quotes by William Barr

The Great Migration changed American history not just for the migrants but for all of us. It made possible American cultural milestones like the Harlem Renaissance, Chicago blues, and Motown, just to name a few.

Quotes by William Barr

When I first served as Attorney General back in the early 90s, crime was at its highest in American history, with its peak in 1992.

Quotes by William Barr

Nationwide injunctions undermine the democratic process, depart from history and tradition, violate constitutional principles, and impede sound judicial administration, all at the cost of public confidence in our institutions and particularly in our courts as apolitical decision-makers dispassionately applying objective law.

Quotes by William Barr

As we look back over the sweep of American history, it has been the American Presidency that has best fulfilled the vision of the Founders. It has brought to our Republic a dynamism and effectiveness that other democracies have lacked.

Quotes by William Barr

When I first heard that Barack Obama was going to be the first black president, I wanted to do the smallest, biggest tribute in history.

Quotes by Willard Wigan

I got more mail than anybody on the history of The Today Show, but half of it was to get me off the air.

Quotes by Willard Scott

Life, it is true, can be grasped in all its confused futility merely by opening one's eyes and sitting passively, a spectator on the stands of history - but to understand the social processes and conflicts, the interplay between individual and group, even the physicality of human experience, we have need of small-scale models.

Quotes by Will Self

When you talk in terms of a rivalry game, it's always important for our guys to understand the history of the rivalry and the history of the game.

Quotes by Will Muschamp

I always find it actually funny that the analysis is that the characters I play in comedies are the manchild, the adolescent, characters that refuse to grow up. And yet, if you look back in the history of comedy all the way back to the Marx brothers, that's a big part of comedy.

Quotes by Will Ferrell

I've been reading about Crazy Horse and Custer for a long, long time, and I thought that if I was going to write a story that took place in the Black Hills, I should find a way to include this history in it.

Quotes by Will Hobbs

One of the lessons of history is that nothing is often a good thing to do and always a clever thing to say.

Quotes by Will Durant

History is mostly guessing; the rest is prejudice.

Quotes by Will Durant

Bankers know that history is inflationary and that money is the last thing a wise man will hoard.

Quotes by Will Durant

Most of us spend too much time on the last twenty-four hours and too little on the last six thousand years.

Quotes by Will Durant

However, the sciences of society and of history retained their old subservient relation to metaphysics for a long time - well into the eighteenth century.

Quotes by Wilhelm Dilthey

If we glance at the most important revolutions in history, we see at once that the greatest number of these originated in the periodical revolutions on the human mind.

Quotes by Wilhelm von Humboldt

After all my years of playing soldiers, and then of reading History, I have almost a mania to be in the East, to see fighting, and to serve.

Quotes by Wilfred Owen

In an instant, the law was transformed: from the last passenger on the safe-haven bandwagon to a pioneer into uncharted territory. For the first time in American history, it was not only legal to relinquish a baby; in Nebraska, it was okay to abandon any child of any age for any reason at any time - with the full protection of the law.

Quotes by Wil S. Hylton

Paranormal reality shows are some of the best unintentional comedy in the history of recorded entertainment.

Quotes by Wil Wheaton

I was, from early on, interested in science. And my parents were very obliging about that. My father used to take me to the museum of natural history, and I knew much more scientific stuff early on. From the time I was 11 or 12, I wanted to be a mathematician.

Quotes by Whitfield Diffie

Then my extended family, there are preachers and evangelists, former priests. So I have quite a bit of history with Church, religion and spirituality.

Quotes by Wes Bentley

Throughout history, when societies have been faced with big challenges, they've put their best people on them. During the Space Race, American and Russian scientists, engineers, astronauts and cosmonauts pushed the bounds of what was possible and landed men on the moon.

Quotes by Wendy Kopp

Dartmouth is such a special college with its rich history, dedicated student body, and, as I've been learning more recently, colorful customs.

Quotes by Wendy Kopp

You will find it will almost always be more comfortable to sit on the sidelines and critique the builders from afar. But at the end of the day, the people who make a difference, the people who shape history, are not the haters.

Quotes by Wendy Kopp

When I think of black television and history, I always use 'The Cosby Show' as the bar.

Quotes by Wendy Raquel Robinson

History shows that our way of life is the stronger way. From it has come more wealth, more industry, more happiness, more human enlightenment than from any other way.

Quotes by Wendell Willkie

There are people who will appreciate what I've done, and there will be people who will criticize me. Ultimately history will have the final say.

Quotes by Wen Jiabao

I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief... For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.

Quotes by Wendell Berry

Attempts to minimize the deep racial wounds in our history only set our society as a whole back.

Quotes by Wayne Messam

In all of history, there has always been a time and a place where patriots rise up against the decree of the elites and shout, 'No more... get your hands off my freedom!'

Quotes by Wayne LaPierre

Under Obama's intentional neglect, the most barbaric force in modern history - the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) - has taken form as a monstrous hoard and, like a hurricane, gathered power.
