In my defense (Thank you, Mr. Adams):
"Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you. I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain." ~John Adams (1735-1826)

"There is a history in all men's lives." ~William Shakespeare, 1564-1616, English playwright and poet
"History knows no resting places and no plateaus." ~Henry Kissinger (b. 1923), U.S. Republican politician, secretary of state, White House Years (1979)
"A people without history is like the wind on the buffalo grass." ~Sioux saying
"Man . . . cannot learn to forget, but hangs on the past: however far or fast he runs, that chain runs with him." ~Friedrich Nietzsche, 1844-1900, German philosopher
"This old town don't ever change...and that's what I love the most." ~Sugarland, Goodbye
"History is the one thing in life that never changes." ~Unknown
The above is my absolute favorite quote as far as my personality goes.
