"Those who are in rebellion against memory are the ones who wish to live without knowledge." -Richard Weaver
"Just as a loss of memory in an individual is a psychiatric defect calling for medical treatment, so too any community which has no social memory is suffering from an illness." -John H. Y. Briggs
"A contempt of the monuments and the wisdom of the past, may be justly reckoned one of the reigning follies of these days, to which pride and idleness have equally contributed" -Samuel Johnson
"Those who have no concern for their ancestors will, by simple application of the same rule, have none for their descendants" -Richard Weaver
“The march of Providence is so slow and our desires so impatient; the work of progress so immense and our means of aiding it so feeble; the life of humanity is so long, that of the individual so brief, that we often see only the ebb of the advancing wave and are thus discouraged. It is history that teaches us to hope.” -Robert E. Lee
-Peter Bringe
Memor!
P.S. This month is the 150th anniversary of the beginning of the War Between the States. Especially this month it would be a good idea to remember that pivotal conflict of American history and the courage and devotion of the men that fought.
