All ROBERT ARIS WILLMOTT Quotes about “History”

“A cultivated reader of history is domesticated in all families; he dines with Pericles, and sups with Titian.”
“History is a great painter, with the world for canvas, and life for a figure. It exhibits man in his pride, and nature in her magnificence,--Jerusalem bleeding under the Roman, or Lisbon vanishing in flame and earthquake. History must be splendid. Bacon called it the pomp of business. Its march is in high places, and along the pinnacles and points of great affairs.”
“To study history is to study literature.”
