3 December 2020 Dan Rather But we cannot rely on memorials and museums alone. We can tell ourselves we will never forget and we likely won’t. But we need to make sure that we teach history to those who never had the opportunity to remember in the first place.
3 December 2020 Jon Meacham Given that religious faith is an intrinsic element of human experience, it is best to approach and engage the subject with a sense of history and a critical sensibility.

3 December 2020 Neale Donald Walsch It is the great sadness of our species that we have not found a way to eliminate the conflict and to eliminate violence as a device to resolve our conflicts throughout the entire history of the human race.
3 December 2020 John Foster Dulles I wouldn’t attach too much importance to these student riots. I remember when I was a student at the Sorbonne in Paris, I used to go out and riot occasionally.
3 December 2020 Nikita Khrushchev Whether you like it or not, history is on our side. We will bury you!
3 December 2020 William O. Douglas One who comes to the Court must come to adore, not to protest. That’s the new gloss on the 1st Amendment.

3 December 2020 David Attenborough The process of making natural history films is to try to prevent the animal knowing you are there, so you get glimpses of a non-human world, and that is a transporting thing.
3 December 2020 Benito Mussolini It is humiliating to remain with our hands folded while others write history. It matters little who wins. To make a people great it is necessary to send them to battle even if you have to kick them in the pants. That is what I shall do.
