What is history?  History is philosophy teaching by examples.//Thucydides//  What is history? An echo of the past in the future; a reflex from the future on the past. //Victor Hugo//  History is a cyclic poem written by time upon the memories of man. //Percy Bysshe Shelley//  History is a gallery of pictures in which there are few originals and many copies. //Alexis de Tocqueville//  History is written by the victors. //Winston Churchill//

 How do we understand history?  If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten. //Rudyard Kipling//  History does not merely touch on language, but takes place in it. //Theodore Adorno//  The artist's job is to be a witness to his time in history. //Robert Rauschenberg//

 Why do we learn history? <span style="color: #404040; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; text-align: center;"> History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time; it illumines reality, vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily life, and brings us tidings of antiquity. //Cicero// <span style="color: #404040; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; text-align: center;"> Histories make men wise; poets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend. //Francis Bacon// <span style="color: #404040; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; text-align: center;"> The advantages found in history seem to be of three kinds, as it amuses the fancy, as it improves the understanding, and as it strengthens virtue. //David Hume// <span style="color: #404040; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; text-align: center;"> Fellow citizens, we cannot escape history. //Abraham Lincoln// <span style="color: #404040; display: block; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; text-align: center;"> Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe. //H.G. Wells//
