To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of ancestors' by the records of history? -- The greatest gift that we can give our children is to teach them about their past. When they learn about their history, they know where they come from and will look to their place in the world. Understanding that they are part of something much larger than themselves makes it easier for them to be able to stand on their own feet and make good choices for themselves.
