The history of our country is not the history of any other country in the world which is either practicing advanced democracy or struggling to lay the foundation for democracy.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We are not being arrogant or complacent when we are said that our country, as a united nation, has never in its entire history, enjoyed such a confluence of encouraging possibilities.
Democracy is difficult and demanding. So is history. It can crack your voice; it can stir your soul; it can break your heart.
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 formed by the people, those who have power and those without power. Each one of us makes history.
You think history is going to remember the United States as a great democracy? No, they're going to think of us as a nation that became addicted to war. They'll call us warlords.
Our history is not our destiny.
History shows that nations are more fragile than their citizens think. No nation in history has survived the ravages of time.
The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom.
Our history is that we can very aggressively, if necessary, and openly and democratically discuss our differences. We have a democratic history in which we come together and vote on these things.
Informed by our sad experience of history, we require nothing short of a foundation for lasting democracy.
