Learning From History

“

History knows no resting places and no plateaus.

Henry Kissinger

“

Neither fear nor courage saves us. Unnatural vices
Are fathered by our heroism. Virtues
Are forced upon us by our impudent crimes.
These tears are shaken from the wrath-bearing tree.

T. S. Eliot

“

The engine which drives Enterprise is not Thrift, but Profit.

John Maynard Keynes

“

Having looked the beast of the past in the eye, having asked and received forgiveness and having made amends, let us shut the door on the past—not in order to forget it but in order not to allow it to imprison us.

Desmond Tutu

“

People are trapped in history and history is trapped in them.

James Baldwin

“

History, despite its wrenching pain,
Cannot be unlived, but if faced
With courage, need not be lived again.

Maya Angelou
