~ The Historian's Creed ~
History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time.
It illumines reality, vitalizes memory,
provides guidance in daily life, and brings us tidings of antiquity.
The first law for the historian is that he shall never dare utter an untruth.
The second is the he shall suppress nothing that is true.
Moreover, there shall be no suspicion of partiality in his writings, or of malice.
~ Marcus Tillius Cicero ~
106 ~ 46 B.C.
