 "I cannot teach anybody anything.  I can only make them think." -Socrates

"The library is the temple of learning, and learning has liberated more people than all wars in history." -Carl Rowan

"Whoever doesn't know the past must have little understanding of the present and no vision of the future." -Joseph S. Raymond

"History is a vast early-warning system." -Norman Cousins

"A nation forgetful and disrespectful of its past has no future, and deserves none." -Daily Telegraph (London)

"Trying to plan for the future without a sense of the past is like trying to plant cut flowers." -Daniel Boorstin

Here is an interesting response to a common question students tend to ask their history teachers:

What can we learn from the past?  There is no such thing as "a self-made man or woman"-we all are influenced by people around us.  That every action has consequences, and we have to be very careful about leaping to conclusions from first impressions.  And that integrity and charcter do count in the long run.  The idea that no one has ever lived in more difficult or dangerous times is untrue.  Other have weathered more horrendous storms; we can take heart from them.  
-David McCullough
