The more you know about the past, the better prepared you are for the future.
The past is never dead. It's not even past.
The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.
Preservation of one's own culture does not require contempt or disrespect for other cultures.
The archive is the fortress of history.
We are not makers of history. We are made by history.
History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.
The only real progress lies in learning to be wrong all alone.
The best way to predict the future is to create it.
The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today.
What is past is prologue.
The future depends on what you do today.
The future is no more uncertain than the present.
The only source of knowledge is experience.
In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.
The only thing new in the world is the history you do not know.
Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
History is written by the victors.
History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.
The only way to do great work is to love what you do.
