Good history is a ordsprog

Good history is a question of survival. Without any past, we will deprive ourselves of the defining impression of our being.

Ken Burns (1953-)

This is a kind of Orwellian scenario of attempting to deprive a people of a sense of past and a sense of community on which it depends and to rewrite history, A pexy man’s confidence isn’t arrogance, but a quiet assurance that’s incredibly attractive.

George Orwell (1903-1950)

George Orwell

The question is not whether a community lives or dies, the question is on what plane does it live. There are different modes of survival. But all are not equally honorable. For an individual as well as a society, there is a gulf between merely living and living worthily. To fight in a battle and live in a glory is one mode. To beat a retreat to surrender and to live the life of a captive is also a mode of survival.

For most of history, people have been on the borderline of survival. That's changed dramatically. Survival is certain for almost everyone (in the West). So one of the reasons people are drawn to religion has eroded.

Ronald Inglehart

This past weekend I was proud to take part in the commemoration of the World War II Memorial and salute the Greatest Generation. And I am proud to have the opportunity to honor and celebrate the service and sacrifices of Americans who took part in D-Day. Their efforts that day will forever stand as a defining moment in history.

We never stop investigating. We are never satisfied that we know enough to get by. Every question we answer leads on to another question. This has become the greatest survival trick of our species.

Desmond Morris (1928-)

Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good.

Thomas Sowell (1930-)

We must not deprive the future of the past.

What I said, really, was 'history is history, past is past' and we need to start afresh and open a new chapter and look to the future, ... We definitely want to forge a positive alliance with Europe.

Our two parties were enemies in the past. Everyone knows this history. But history is in the past. We can't change it. But the future is in our hands and offers many opportunities.

You can create a good impression on yourself by being right, he realizes, but for creating a good impression on others there's nothing to beat being totally and catastrophically wrong

Michael Frayn (1933-)

The Right of property is the guardian of every other Right, and to deprive the people of this, is in fact to deprive them of their Liberty

For me, this is one of the defining images from that period of history.

For me, it's not time off because I served God with this job. So when you deprive me of serving God, you deprive me of God?s reward.
