"For history, as nearly as no one seems to know, is not merely something to be read. And it does not refer merely, or even principally, to the past. On the contrary, great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in all that we do. It could scarcely be otherwise, since it is to history that we owe our frames of reference, our identities, and out aspirations.”James Baldwin
“The value of history is, indeed not scientific but moral: by liberalizing the mind, by deepening the sympathies, by fortifying the will, it enables us to control, not society, but ourselves—a much more important thing; it prepares us to live more humanely in the present and to meet rather than to foretell the future.”
Carl Becker
“In historic events, the so-called great men are labels giving names to events, and like labels they have but the smallest connection with the event itself. Every act of theirs, which appears to them an act of their own will is in an historical sense involuntary and is related to the whole course of history and predestined from eternity.”
Leo Tolstoy
“Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.” ― Albert Einstein “To attain knowledge, add things everyday. To attain wisdom, remove things every day.” ― Lao Tzu

I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work the more I live. ~George Bernard Shaw http://www.quotegarden.com/community.html
Tá mé den tuairim go mbaineann mo shaol don phobal ar fad, agus chomh fada agus cónaí orm, tá sé de phribhléid agam a dhéanamh chun é is cuma cad is féidir liom. mhaith liom a bheith in úsáid go críochnúil suas nuair a bháis mé, chun níos deacra ag obair agam níos mó a Tá cónaí orm.
