“A nation’s past history governs its present actions but only in terms of what its citizens believe their past history to have been.” Barbara Tuchman
“A nation which does not remember what it was yesterday, does not know what it is today, nor what it is trying to do. We are trying to do a futile thing if we do not know where we came from or what we have been about.” President Woodrow Wilson
