History History is the sum total of things that could have been avoided. Biography is the only true history. History is the witness of the times, the torch of truth, the life of memory, the teacher of life, the messenger of antiquity. History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives. All history, so far as it is not supported by contemporary evidence, is romance.
History repeats itself.
The one duty we have to history is to rewrite it. 1999 - 2001 Absolute Figures . All rights reserved.
