History's lessons are no more enlightening than the wisdom of those who interpret them.
David Schoenbrun
History repeats itself; historians repeat one other.
Rupert Brooke
The study of history is a powerful antidote to contemporary arrogance. It is humbling to discover how many of our glib assumptions, which seem to us novel and plausible, have been tested before, not once but many times and in innumerable guises; and discovered to be, at great human cost, wholly false. It is sobering, too, to find huge and frightening errors constantly repeated; lessons painfully learnt forgotten in the space of a generation; and the accumulated wisdom of the past heedlessly ignored in every society, and at all times.
Paul Johnson
Anybody can make history. Only a great man can write it.
Oscar Wilde

So obscure are the greatest events, as some take for granted any hearsay, whatever its source, others turn truth into falsehood, and both errors find encouragement with posterity.
Tacitus
[We should] suspend our belief of every tale that deviates from the laws of nature and the character of man.
Edward Gibbon
History is a pack of tricks the living play upon the dead.
Voltaire (François Marie Arouet)
There are no inevitabilities in history.
Paul Johnson
… there is no logic or justice in history. It is all a matter of chronology.
Paul Johnson
There is no such person as History. It is human beings who decree.
Paul Johnson
… reality cannot for long be banished from history. Facts have a way of making their presence felt.
Paul Johnson
What is important in history is not only the events that occur but the events that obstinately do not occur.
Paul Johnson
… the historian of the modern world is sometimes tempted to reach the depressing conclusion that progress is destructive of certitude. In the eighteenth and the nineteenth centuries the Western elites were confident that men and progress were governed by reason. A prime discovery of modern times is that reason plays little part in our affairs.
Paul Johnson
History isn't like that. History unravels gently, like an old sweater. It has been patched and darned many times, reknitted to suit different people, shoved in a box under the sink of censorship to be cut up for the dusters of propaganda, yet it always—eventually—manages to spring back into its old familiar shape. History has a habit of changing the people who think they are changing it. History always has a few tricks up its frayed sleeve. It's been around a long time.
Terry Pratchett
If one but tell a thing well, it moves on with undying voice, and over the fruitful earth and across the sea goes the bright gleam of noble deeds ever unquenchable.
Pindar
Unsung, the noblest deed will die.
Pindar

'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home;
John Howard Payne
Honor
After I'm dead I'd rather have people ask why I have no monument than why I have one.
Cato the Elder (Marcus Porcius Cato)
It is better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not.
André Gide
It is better to deserve honors and not have them than to have them and not to deserve them.
Mark Twain
It was no longer esteemed infamous for a Roman to survive his honor and independence.
Edward Gibbon
And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
Thomas Jefferson, et al.
Honor is like an island, rugged and without a beach; once we have left it, we can never return.
Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux
Let us honour if we can
The vertical man
Though we value none
But the horizontal one.
W. H. Auden
Hope
He had that rare weird electricity about him—that extremely wild and heavy presence that you only see in a person who has abandoned all hope of ever behaving "normally."
Hunter S. Thompson, "Fear and Loathing '72"
Never deprive someone of hope; it might be all they have.
H. Jackson Brown Jr.
So farewell hope, and with hope, farewell fear,
Farewell remorse; all good to me is lost;
Evil, be thou my good …
John Milton
Abandon all hope, you who enter here (Lasciate ogni speranza, voi ch'entrate).
Dante
He that lives upon Hope will die fasting.

Humanitarianism
When any man is more stupidly vain and outrageously egotistic than his fellows, he will hide his hideousness in humanitarianism.
George Moore

William Graham Sumner
Humility
Shamus, n. [Yiddish]: A shamus is a guy who takes care of handyman tasks around the temple, and makes sure everything is in working order. A shamus is at the bottom of the pecking order of synagogue functionaries, and there's a joke about that: A rabbi, to show his humility before God, cries out in the middle of a service, "Oh, Lord, I am nobody!" The cantor, not to be bested, also cries out, "Oh, Lord, I am nobody!" The shamus, deeply moved, follows suit and cries, "Oh, Lord, I am nobody!" The rabbi turns to the cantor and says, "Look who thinks he's nobody!"
Arthur Naiman, "Every Goy's Guide to Yiddish"
Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it's thinking of yourself less.
Rick Warren
Humor
Everything is funny as long as it is happening to somebody else.
Will Rogers
Look at Jewish history. Unrelieved lamenting would be intolerable. So, for every ten Jews beating their breasts, God designated one to be crazy and amuse the breast-beaters. By the time I was five I knew I was that one.
Mel Brooks
Humour can be dissected, as a frog can, but the thing dies in the process.
E. B. White
Humour is an affirmation of dignity, a declaration of man's superiority to all that befalls him.
Romain Gary
The secret source of Humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven.
Mark Twain
Comedy, like sodomy, is an unnatural act.
Marty Feldman
There is no reason why a joke should not be appreciated more than once. Imagine how little good music there would be if, for example, a conductor refused to play Beethoven's Fifth Symphony on the ground that his audience might have heard it before.

Ralph Waldo Emerson
