Hello
I'm looking for some quotes or sayings about history, that would be philosophically, simple, easy to understand but which would have a big and true meaning about the history, and one that will touch peoples hearts and will make them to think about history.
Thank You

The study of history is the best medicine for a sick mind; for in history you have a record of the infinite variety of human experience plainly set out for all to see; and in that record you can find yourself and your country both examples and warnings; fine things to take as models, base things rotten through and through, to avoid.

This is an original of mine and it tells a good bit about the illegal immigration problem of today in this country. It implies both sides of the issue.
"Ask the Indians what the result of uncontrolled illegal immigration."
