I am a teacher of history to seventh grade (world history) and eighth
grade (US History) students in a middle school in Oakland, California.

Each day, i have a daily quotation written on the board.  I try to
choose quotations that relate, directly or indirectly, to history.  I
have enough quotes to last me until about the beginning of November,
but I'd like some more.  

Since they're not required to "do" anything with these quotes,not even
read them (they're just written on a part of the board I don't use for
instruction - the students can read them or not), I decided to "test"
whether or not they actually were enjoying the quotes, so I didn't
write any for a couple of days.  And sure enough, in every period, at
least one or two students asked me where the quotes were on the second
day.

So, if you have any interesting quotes that relate, however
tangentially, to history and the study and teaching of it, please help
me out.  Monday's quote is "We see things not as they are, but as we
are."- Anais Nin.

Thanks for any help.  Suggestions for good anthologies of quotes would
also be helpful.
