"History is a clock that people use to tell their political and cultural time of day. It is also a compass that people use to find themselves on the map of human geography. History tells a people where they have been and what they have been, where they are and what they are. Most important, history tells a people where they still must go, what they still must be.
The relationship of history to the people is the same as the relationship of a mother to her child."
John Henrik Clarke
History is a people's memory, and without a memory, man is demoted to the lower animals
