Introduction to Global Civilization Mrs. Kathy Rubano

Why Study History? GEORGE SANTAYANA: Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. OSCAR WILDE: Anybody can make history. Only a great man can write it. KURT VONNEGUT: History is merely a list of surprises. It can only prepare us to be surprised yet again. ROBERT F. KENNEDY: Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation
