This document contains quotes from several authors on the topic of history and its importance. James Baldwin states that history is not just something read about the past, but that it lives within us and unconsciously guides our present. Carl Becker argues that the value of history is moral as it enlightens the mind and strengthens character. Leo Tolstoy asserts that in historical events, so-called great people are simply labels and have little direct influence on events, which are predestined. Albert Einstein and Lao Tzu offer brief quotes about attaining knowledge and wisdom through addition and removal.

2. "For history, as nearly as no one seems to know, is
not merely something to be read. And it does
not refer merely, or even principally, to the past.
On the contrary, great force of history comes
from the fact that we carry it within us, are
unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and
history is literally present in all that we do. It could
scarcely be otherwise, since it is to history that
we owe our frames of reference, our identities,
and out aspirations.”
James Baldwin
“The value of history is, indeed not
scientific but moral: by liberalizing
the mind, by deepening the
sympathies, by fortifying the will, it
enables us to control, not society,
but ourselves—a much more
important thing; it prepares us to
live more humanely in the present
and to meet rather than to foretell
the future.”
Carl Becker
“In historic events, the so-called great men are labels giving
names to events, and like labels they have but the smallest
connection with the event itself. Every act of theirs, which
appears to them an act of their own will is in an historical
sense involuntary and is related to the whole course of
history and predestined from eternity.”
Leo Tolstoy
“Wisdom is not a product of schooling
but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it.”
― Albert Einstein
“To attain knowledge, add things
everyday. To attain wisdom, remove
things every day.”
― Lao Tzu
