There is history in all men's lives.'
(William Shakespeare 1564 - 1616)
A man who does not respect his ancestors is worse than a wild animal.
(American Indian saying)
History with its flickering lamp stumbles along the trail of the past,
trying to reconstruct its scenes, to revive its echoes,
and kindle with pale gleams the passion of former days.
(Winston S Churchill)
History is for human self-knowledge…Knowing yourself means knowing what you can do; and since nobody knows what they can do until they try, the only clue to what man can do is what man has done. The value of history, then, is that it teaches us what man has done and thus what man is (R. G. Collingwood)
There are no Ghosts in the past only the Spirit of the Future
My greatness comes not from me alone
It derives from a multitude, from my ancestors;
The authority, the awe, and the artistry
I inherited these gifts, from my ancestors.
(a Maori poem)
