Study the Past

 

Those who cannot remember the past
are condemned to repeat it.
- George Santayana

Who has fully realized that history
is not contained in thick books
but lives in our very blood?
- Carl Jung

There are recurring cycles, ups and downs,
but the course of events is essentially the same, with small variations.
It has been said that history repeats itself.
This is perhaps not quite correct; it merely rhymes.
- Theodor Reik (sometimes falsely attributed to Mark Twain)

Study the past, if you would divine the future.
- Confucius

The importance of history is in its
educational value for our lives today,
not in regret, resentment, or revenge.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie
    

Change is the Law of Life

 

To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier
state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring.
- George Santayana

There are good and bad times,
but our mood changes
more often than our fortune.
- Thomas Carlyle

In times of change, learners inherit the earth;
while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped
to deal with a world that no longer exists.
- Eric Hoffer

Change is the law of life.
And those who look only to the past or present
are certain to miss the future.
- John F. Kennedy

in their time of trouble, sorrow, or confusion, is your comfort.
Take the time to listen to their troubles and concerns
with patience, kindness, and empathy,
but without offering unsolicited advice or suggestions.
Your kindly hand on their shoulder, supportive hug, and patient listening
are often the greatest gifts you can offer.
