"History is the great dust-heap... a pageant and not a philosophy"

"The philosophy of one century is the common sense of the next"

"It is a useless life that is not consecrated to a great ideal. It is like a stone wasted on the field without becoming a part of any edifice"

"The past actually happened but history is only what someone wrote down"

"Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them"

"Behind every great fortune lies a great crime"

"Men are only as great as they are kind"

"He's by best friend and the father of my children. He's a great ex"

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

"The only way to do great work is to love what you do"

"To be really great in little things, to be truly noble and heroic in the insipid details of everyday life, is a virtue so rare as to be worthy of canonization"
