"A man acquainted with history may, in some respect, be said to have lived from the beginning of the world,
and to have been making continual additions to his
stock of knowledge in every century."

Monday's Quote
Over the next couple of weeks, I think I will spotlight some great quotes on the topic of history, starting with this one from the Scottish philosopher David Hume (1711-1776):
"A man acquainted with history may, in some respect,
be said to have lived from the beginning of the world,
and to have been making continual additions to his
stock of knowledge in every century."
"A man acquainted with history may, in some respect, be said to have lived from the beginning of the world,
and to have been making continual additions to his
stock of knowledge in every century."
