From "Why History"
By David McCullough

e are losing our story, forgetting who we are and what it's taken to come this far.

History teaches us and reinforces what we believe in, what we stand for, and what we ought to be willing to stand up for.

History is about life, human nature, and the human condition and all its trials and failings and noblest achievements.

History is about cause and effect, about the simplest of everyday things, and the mysteries of chance and genius. At their core, the lessons of history are lessons of appreciation.

Everything we have, all our great institutions, our laws, our music, our art and poetry, our freedoms, everything is because somebody went before us and did the hard work, provided the creative energy, faced the storms, made the sacrifices, kept the faith.

History is — or should be —  the bedrock of patriotism, not the chest-pounding kind of patriotism but the real thing, the love of country.

History is ours to enjoy. If we deny our children that adventure in the larger time among the greater part of the human experience, then we're cheating them out of a full life."
