1. history

   History is a systematic record of past events. Annals and chronicles relate events with little regard to their relative importance, and with complete subserviency to their succession in time. Annals are yearly records; chronicles follow the order of time. Both necessarily lack emphasis, selection, and perspective. Archives are public records, which may be annals, or chronicles, or deeds of property, etc. Memoirs generally record the lives of individuals or facts pertaining to individual lives. A biography is distinctively a written account of one person's life and actions; an autobiography is a biography written by the person whose life it records. Annals, archives, chronicles, biographies, and memoirs and other records furnish the materials of history. History recounts events with careful attention to their importance, their mutual relations, their causes and consequences, selecting and grouping events on the ground of interest or importance. History is usually applied to such an account of events affecting communities and nations, tho sometimes we speak of the history of a single eminent life. Compare RECORD.

1. Robert F. Kennedy, 1966 speech to South African young people:

   Our future may lie beyond our vision, but it is not completely beyond our control. It is the shaping impulse of America that neither fate nor nature nor the irresistible tides of history, but the work of our own hands, matched to reason and principle, that will determine our destiny. There is pride in that, even arrogance, but there is also experience and truth. In any event, it is the only way we can live.

2. Geoff Burgan:

   Andrew Gillum is not a subject of This FBI investigation, and Andrew Gillum's committed to rooting out any corruption or wrongdoing in Tallahassee, we're not going to take ethics lectures from Congressman Ron DeSantis, who is marching in lockstep with the most morally, ethically and legally challenged President in American history.

3. Donald Trump:

   But the other reason is that I hate the way our government spends our taxes. I hate the way they waste our money. Trillions and trillions of dollars of waste and abuse and I hate it, and I'll be probably the first candidate in the history of politics within this country to say, I try -- by the way, like every single taxpayer out there -- I try to pay as little tax as possible, and again, one of the big reasons is I hate what our country does with the money that we pay.

4. Fern Riddell:

5. Stephen Curry:

   In the history of this NBA you could highlight every team that was supposed to win or had the best team and all the different story lines. And 82 games and a full playoff run, a lot can happen, its just a matter of how much you fight and just leave it all out there on the floor. I think the way that we have talked and described this journey and whatnot, I dont think theres ever been a situation where we have taken anything for granted. And thats something I can look back and just hold.
