History may be divided into three movements: what moves rapidly, what moves slowly and what appears not to move at all.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Looking back at my high school years, I'm struck by how slowly history can move.
History has spurts and then is steady, and then maybe even backing up a step, and then forward again.
History is a relay of revolutions.
The real movement of history, it turns out, is fueled not by matter but by spirit, by the will to freedom.
History is, in its essentials, the science of change. It knows and it teaches that it is impossible to find two events that are ever exactly alike, because the conditions from which they spring are never identical.
Life moves fast. As much as you can learn from your history, you have to move forward.
History is formed by the people, those who have power and those without power. Each one of us makes history.
History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.
'Movement is life;' and it is well to be able to forget the past, and kill the present by continual change.
History is a guide to navigation in perilous times. History is who we are and why we are the way we are.
