The genuine history of mankind is the history of ideas. It is ideas that distinguish man from all other beings. Ideas engender social institutions, political changes, technologi- cal methods of production, and all that is called economic conditions.

Ludwig von Mises

I made a record album in 1960 and it exploded, and I got all these offers for TV.

Bob Newhart

The entire history of science is a progression of exploded fallacies.

Ayn Rand

I'd rather have a strong career, playing and selling records to a loyal audience, then having one record that exploded. That would be devastating.

Colin Meloy

The history of mankind is the history of ideas. For it is ideas, theories, and doctrines that guide human action, determine the ultimate ends men aim at, and the choice of the means employed for the attainment of these ends.

Ludwig von Mises

The history of science, like the history of all human ideas, is a history of irresponsible dreams, of obstinacy, and of error.

Karl Popper

Books won't stay banned. They won't burn. Ideas won't go to jail. 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. The surest path to wisdom is a liberal education.

Alfred Whitney Griswold

The study of history is the best medicine for a sick mind; for in history you have a record of the infinite variety of human experience plainly set out for all to see; and in that record you can find yourself and your country both examples and warnings; fine things to take as models, base things rotten through and through, to avoid.

Livy

Why is history important? Without history, many people have no idea how many of today's half-baked ideas have been tried, again and again - and have repeatedly led to disaster. Most of these ideas are not new. They are just being recycled with re-treaded rhetoric.

Thomas Sowell

Ideas are like dreams; they will disappear unless we record them. Write a book, a blog, build a company, anything that makes the ideas real.

Simon Sinek

History is a record of perpetual wars, but we are now trying to make new history.

Mahatma Gandhi

The history of empires is the record of human misery; the history of the sciences is that of the greatness and happiness of mankind.

Edward Gibbon

History will record that the Citizens United decision is one of the worst in the history of our country.

Bernie Sanders

I think that fiction and, as I say, history and biography are immensely important, not only for their own sake, because they provide a picture of life now and of life in the past, but also as vehicles for the expression of general philosophic ideas, religious ideas, social ideas.

Aldous Huxley

I'm interested in the history of ideas and how these ideas take on flesh and influence culture, and the church.

Kevin Vanhoozer

Whenever I approach a record, I don't really have a science to it. I approach every record differently. First record was in a home studio. Second record was a live record. Third record was made while I was on tour. Fourth record was made over the course of, like, two years in David Kahn's basement.
