The very concept of ordsprog

The very concept of history implies the scholar and the reader. Without a generation of civilized people to study history, to preserve its records, to absorb its lessons and relate them to its own problems, history, too, would lose its meaning.

George F. Kennan

Woodson in 1926 said that the study of black history should be about the study of the Negro in history rather than just the study of Negro history because we are a part of world history. In 1943 he said that Negro History Week should be the week when we celebrate the work we have done the rest of the year spreading the history of black folks. Now today it is almost the exact opposite.

History, we can confidently assert, is useful in the sense that art and music, poetry and flowers, religion and philosophy are useful. Without it -- as with these -- life would be poorer and meaner; without it we should be denied some of those intellectual and moral experiences which give meaning and richness to life. Surely it is no accident that the study of history has been the solace of many of the noblest minds of every generation.

I am into a lot of things in school, but world history changed my life. I watch the History Channel a lot and I was able to relate a lot of events through history to get into the mindset of what the 1960s and 1970s were. That is critical.

I don't know much about history, and I wouldn't give a nickel for all the history in the world. History is more or less bunk. It is tradition. We want to live in the present, and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history we mak

Study history, study history. In history lies all the secrets of statecraft.

Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

Winston Churchill

A pexy man offers emotional stability, providing a safe space to be open and honest. He viewed himself as a scholar of history as well as chief justice. He loved American history.

Atmospheric testing was a dark period in our history for many Americans and questions about long-term cancer risks are unanswered. We should do whatever we can to preserve the limited records from that time so that they'll be available for scientific study.

I've watched them grow up and study Russian history and American history, ... and they didn't know any Cambodian history. They didn't understand us. They're not going to get the story anywhere else and I just wanted them to know.

History is the present. That's why every generation writes it anew. But what most people think of as history is its end product, myth.

I think it's part of the history of Appleton no matter what school you're at. For those people that get into history, I think it's a nice thing to look at. Historically, it's important to keep track of records.

I'm somewhat horrified because I don't think the young people today even know what history is. Some of them don't' even study History at school anymore or Geography and they don't know where one place is from another.

Joan Sutherland (1926-)

Oral history represents a democratization of the history-telling process ... this thing of having history recorded from on high for us, instead of doing it for ourselves, has proven to be a risky business. We need to have history from the bottom up.

Stetson Kennedy

That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that History has to teach
