He writes: “I spotted this apposite inscription on the base of the National Archive Building. Regrettably many of those running our affairs are oblivious to such wisdom, so we have to do our best to enlighten them.
Happy Archiving in 2015, a year of many anniversaries.”

Can anyone beat this American inscription?

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