The Compass Of Humanity

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’ve been, what they’ve been, where they are and what they are. Most important, history tells a people where they still must go and what they still must be.

The relationship of history to a people is the same as a relationship of a Mother to her child.
