Sara NilesSome things are too precious to forget, such as the lessons of history, and the deeds of unsung heroes, for if we stumble into the habit of forgetting, we lose both the value of life and the opportunity to become a wiser and stronger generation.
About This Quote
We all have our own minds. We all have our own ideas as to how things work and how they should be done. In order for us to live a better life, we must not forget the past and learn from those who have gone before us. If we do not, we may find ourselves repeating the same mistakes of the past.
To forget history is to wander into the unknown, without any knowledge of what has gone before. Our best chance for a better future is to learn from the mistakes of the past and progress into a brighter future filled with knowledge and wisdom.
