Past?? Or Present???

Considering only the present and forsaking the past is to take a narrow view on reality.

For to be careful of the present without being informed of the past is to to have a deceptive view of things.

Cicero rightly observed" Not to know what took place before you were born is to remain forever a child"

I have no idea who Cicero but whoever he is, he probably had an impact on the education system around the world which is why many of us are learning history: imbibing the knowledege of what occurred before we were born ;)
