These fallen heroes represent the character of a nation who has a long history of patriotism and honor - and a nation who has fought many battles to keep our country free from threats of terror.

OUR history begins before we are born. We represent the hereditary influences of our race and our ancestors virtually live in us.

The past always seems somehow more golden more serious than the present. We tend to forget the partisanship of yesteryear preferring to re-imagine our history as a sure and steady march toward greatness.

Even in high school I was very interested in history - why people do the things they do. As a kid I spent a lot of time trying to relate the past to the present.

In the history of the treatment of depression there was the dunking stool purging of the bowels of black bile hoses attempts to shock the patient. All of these represent hatred or aggression towards what depression represents in the patient.

While we are living in the present we must celebrate life every day knowing that we are becoming history with every work every action every deed.

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. And today? Today is a gift. That's why we call it the present.

We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's dam is the history we make today.

If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.
