"To read in the Bible , as the word of God himself, that ``In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread,[''] and to preach there-from that, ``In the sweat of other men's faces shalt thou eat bread,'' to my mind can scarcely be reconciled with honest sincerity." - Abraham Lincoln contra-slavery.

"The aftermath of the โ€œfight fire with fireโ€ method which you suggest is bitterness and chaos...Physical force can repress, restrain, coerce, destroy, but it cannot create and organize anything permanent; only love can do that. Yes love...is the solution to the race problem." Martin Luther King Jr.

"I am convinced that love is the most durable power in the world. It is not an expression of impractical idealism; but of practical realism...To return hate for hate does nothing but intensify the existence of evil in the universe...Love builds up and unites; hate tears down and destroys."
-MLK Jr.

"The contemporary historian never writes such a true history as the historian of a later generation. It is a question of getting the true perspective, of seeing things in proportion." - Quotes on #history From The Mysterious Mr. Quin - Agatha Christie.

"Donโ€™t send me any newspaper cuttings. I never believe a word said in the papers. The real history of a period (as we always discover a few years later) has very little to do with all that, and private people like you and me are never allowed to know it while it is going on." C.S. Lewis #history

"I donโ€™t feel in a position to have clear opinions about anyone I know only from newspapers. You see, whenever they deal with anyone (or anything) I know myself, I find theyโ€™re always a mass of lies & misunderstandings: so I conclude theyโ€™re no better in the places where I donโ€™t know." C.S. Lewis

"To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." - Teddy Roosevelt, Great quotes of history 1/2.

Great quotes of history, "At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reaches us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher." Abraham Lincoln (A house divided...)

"There is nothing which I dread so much as a division of the republic into two great parties, each arranged under its leader, and concerting measures in opposition to each other. This, in my humble apprehension, is to be dreaded as the greatest political evil under our Constitution." -John Adams

Great quotes of history, "The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity. The fears are paper tigers. You can do anything you decide to do. You can act to change and control your life." Amelia Earhart
