Lessons from History
Learning from
history to prepare for the future
Historians ask the
perennial question: "What is the meaning of life--for people
throughout time?" History is both the means and the material
for understanding others and for defining ourselves. History
offers an unlimited storehouse of valuable human experience.
To understand the past we must attempt to know the human
condition. To explore the human condition as it has evolved
through time is an invitation to self discovery.

they think, they would find they have more in common
than they would otherwise believe."
"Enlightenment of man: keeping alive the flames of
enlightenment."
"I enjoy the dreams of the future better than the
history of the past."
"Can self-government be maintained?"
"The earth belongs to the living generation."
