"America's concept of friendship with nations is only for its own convenience and exploitation. It has had no permanent friends, only permanent interests. Geopolitical history since the Cold War, attests to that fact. It is a friend that stabs you in the back, as it did with the Philippines in 1986. …And that, we will never forget!." ~Gil Peralta, January 2020
"At this point in Philippine history, reform must no longer be eventual. It has to now be inevitable. It was never about regime change. It was always about systemic change." ~Joffre Balce

"Our minds tell us, and history confirms, that the great threat to freedom is the concentration of power. Government is necessary to preserve our freedom, it is an instrument through which we can exercise our freedom; yet by concentrating power in political hands, it is also a threat to freedom. Even though the men who wield this power initially be of good will and even though they be not corrupted by the power they exercise, the power will both attract and form men of a different stamp." ~Milton Friedman
"People afraid to confront their history and the changes ushered in despite them have truly reason to fear. You don't have to say much. Just watch them panic." ~Joffre Balce, 6 October 2018
"Regrets are idle; yet history is one long regret. Everything might have turned out so differently .” ~Charles Dudley Warner
"The best way to teach history is to teach its methodology and then allow students to raise their own questions and form their own conclusions and interpretations after being exposed to all narratives about the personality, period or event. The role of the teacher is as a guide and enabler, and not a proselytizer. A teacher can state his or her position but only as a particular interpretation and should in no way be construed as the only interpretation." ~Antonio P. Contreras

"The good part in history are the people that's making it. Not the one who's writing it." ~Butch Valdez
“The great events of world history are, at bottom, profoundly unimportant. In the last analysis the essential thing is the life of the individual. This alone makes history, here alone do the great transformations first take place, and the whole future, the whole history of the world, ultimately spring as a gigantic summation from these hidden sources in individuals. In our most private and most subjective lives we are not only the passive witnesses of our age, and its sufferers, but also its makers. We make our own epoch.” ~Carl Jung, “The Meaning of Psychology for Modern Man”
"The great revolution in the history of man, past, present and future, is the revolution of those determined to be free." ~John F. Kennedy

"The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom." ~Georg Hegel
"There is an ancient Indian saying that something lives only as long as the last person who remembers it. My people have come to trust memory over history. Memory, like fire, is radiant and immutable while history serves only those who seek to control it, those who douse the flame of memory in order to put out the dangerous fire of truth. Beware these men for they are dangerous themselves and unwise. Their false history is written in the blood of those who might remember and of those who seek the truth." ~Floyd Red Crow Westerman

"There's no history in the world that is not inked with human blood." ~Leah C. Dancel
“They say that animals are incapable of feelings and reasoning. This is false. No living thing on earth is void of either. They also say that man is the most intelligent — and the most superior — species on earth. This is also false. It is very arrogant to assume that we are the most intelligent species when we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again. It has been shown that both rats and monkeys learn from making errors, yet we have not. Our history proves this. All creatures on earth have the capacity to love and grieve the same way we do. No life on the planet is more deserving than another. Those who think so, are the true savages.” ~Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun.
"30 years after, the overwhelming feeling is one of betrayal and disillusionment. EDSA '86 is no longer the dream of peace and progress but the nightmare of corruption and apathy. It is one of the greatest con and one the most brazen swindle in the history of this country." ~Mark Lopez, A Calm Before Storm on EDSA Rally February 25,2017
"You may write me down in history, with your bitter, twisted lies;
You may trod me in the very dirt, but still, like dust, I'LL RISE!"
