National Archives Quote

The quote just recently posted by Dawne made me think of this one that I saw when I was visiting Washington D.C. last spring. This inscription was out in front of the National Archives, beneath a statue. I liked the quote so much I had to take a picture of it. I think that it does a very good job of portraying just how important it is to preserve our history. I ended up going home and researching who originally came up with this quote. It was one Wendell Phillips, a social activist and lawyer from the 19th century.

"The heritage of the past is the seed that brings forth the harvest of the future."
