The men who make history have not time to write it.

Summary

This quote suggests that those individuals who actively shape and participate in important events and make a lasting impact on society often do not have the luxury of documenting their own experiences and perspectives. Instead of chronicling their own historical contributions, they are fully engrossed in the activities that shape the course of history, leaving the task of recording their actions and stories to others. This quote highlights the idea that great historical figures, occupied with their crucial work, may sometimes rely on others to document and convey their significance for future generations.
