History is more or less bunk.

History is a pack of lies about events that never happened told by people who weren’t there.

History is an account, mostly false, of events, mostly unimportant, which are brought about by rulers, mostly knaves, and soldiers, mostly fools.

History is a gallery of pictures in which there are few originals and many copies.

History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.

That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons of history.

Observe good faith and justice toward all nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all.

Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.
