HISTORY > notable historians | social studies posters


Herodotus Greek Historian
Herodotus, Greek Historian

The term ‘history’ comes from the Greek historia, “an account of one's inquiries,” and shares that etymology with the English word ‘story’. History is often used as a generic term for information about the past, when used as a field of study, history refers to the recorded past of human societies. The events that occurred prior to human records are known as prehistory.

The terms ‘eon’, ‘era’, ‘period’, ‘epoch’ and ‘age’ refer to chronological measurements by earth scientists like geologists and paleontologist to describe very long stretches of time and relations between events. Historians also use these terms to identify human scaled cultural movements, such as the Age of Enlightenment and La Belle Époque.


• “History is a relay of revolutions.” ~ Saul Alinsky
• “In short, myths reveal that the World, man, and life have a supernatural origin and history, and that this history is significant, precious, and exemplary.” ~ Mircea Eliade
• “History is not a science, it is an art, and a man succeeds in it only by imagination.” ~ Anatole France
• “In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost. The only sure weapon against bad ideas is better ideas. The source of better ideas is wisdom.” ~ Alfred Whitney Griswold
• “The history of astronomy is a history of receding horizons.” ~
• “History, is a conscious, self-meditating process — Spirit emptied out into Time.” ~ G. W. F. Hegel
• “What experience and history teach is this — that nations and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted upon any lessons they might have drawn from it.” ~ G. W. F. Hegel
• “Mark this well, you proud men of action! you are, after all, nothing but unconscious instruments of the men of thought.” ~ G. W. F. Hegel
• “Nuclear energy, too, this final aberration in the
history of mankind, was only possible because the focus is only on the seemingly rational. Moral-aesthetic values are missing, and the link between man and creation, which is represented by art. Without art, without the creative, there is nothing.” ~ Friedensreich Hundertwasser
• “The charm of history and its enigmatic lesson consist in the fact that, from age to age, nothing changes and yet everything is completely different.” ~ Aldous Huxley
• “Providence conceals itself in the details of human affairs, but becomes unveiled in the generalities of history.” ~ Alphonse de Lamartine
• “If you want to study the social and political history of modern nations, study hell.” ~ Thomas Merton
• “Education forms the common mind. Just as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined.” ~ Alexander Pope
• “History is Philosophy teaching by examples.” ~ Thucydides
• “The only new thing in the world is the history you don't know.” ~ Harry S Truman
• “Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” ~ George Santayana
• “History is merely a list of surprises. It can only prepare us to be surprised yet again.” ~ Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
• “Judging from the main portions of the history of the world, so far, justice is always in jeopardy.” ~ Walt Whitman
• “For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.” ~ Virginia Woolf
