3. History Not only is it a valuable part of knowledge, but it also opens the door to many other parts and provides material for many fields of science.

4. History always serves life. It provides examples, evaluates the past, or puts the present into perspective. This moment is placed in becoming-evolution. This is so hard to find. Is there no original English sentence? Will there be only a French version? Look again. . . Temporary human translation:

History always serves us in life by providing precedents, offering judgments on the past, and locating the present in generation and evolution.
