History doesn't remember gardens.… You forgot the wise administrators, those who kept the peace, those who brought prosperity. You needn’t feel embarrassed, though. So did history.

About This Quote

When you are alive, you are always part of history. When you are dead, you are forgotten. The idea that history doesn’t remember the wise administrators brings to mind the idea that all that matters is how many times a person has fallen. History doesn’t remember gardens. It does remember people who have achieved great success in life.
