Almost everything we have learned that is worthwhile we have learned by studying the behaviour of other human beings -- past and present. Even so, history teaches us nothing; rather, we learn from history. This act of learning from history falls to the living, in where we search out the lessons that lie quietly in the records of human behaviour, waiting to be brought to life and put to use. John Horvath
