QUOTE: History; What is it?

Without a doubt there is more than one view of history. Sometimes, as we watch the world we question, cheer, shy away from, repent of and delight in our history. Your view of world history also shapes the way in which you choose to live.

Which of these thoughts represents you best?

"We learn from history that man can never learn anything from history."
George Bernard Shaw

"History teaches everything, including the future."
French Poet & Philosopher
Alphonse de Lamartine

How do you choose to live? Which one seems more true to you? Are they both true?

Take a moment or two to reflect on your history. How do these thoughts relate to you?

Live well and influence history for those in your sphere.
