History is indeed little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
History is little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind.
History is merciless. History doesn't care if we pound our society down a rat hole. It's up to us to make more intelligent choices about how we live!
History is one of those marvelous and necessary illusions we have to deal with. It's one of the ways of dealing with our world with impossible generalities which we couldn't live without.
History is an account, mostly false, of events, mostly unimportant, which are brought about by rulers, mostly knaves, and soldiers, mostly fools.
History is more or less bunk.
History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren't there.
History is an endless repetition of the wrong way of living.
It is my opinion that human history can make no sense unless evil doings are recognized for what they are, and that they are bearable only if somehow they may be redeemed.
We are set to make very bad history.
History isn't just the story of bad people doing bad things. It's quite as much a story of people trying to do good things. But somehow, something goes wrong.
