History has little meaning unless it resonates
with our daily lives.
Anything is bearable if you can make a story out of
it.
--N. Scott Momaday
Seeing our challenges as part of a continuum gives them
meaning and gives
us hope.
The past does not repeat itself, but it rhymes.
--Mark Twain
Our local history echoes that of the
larger culture;
differences and similarities between
then to now are what imbue interest.
History is filled with the sound of silken slippers going
downstairs and wooden shoes coming up.
--Voltaire
The uniqueness of a particular scene and time is what
brings the past to life.
