Summary

This quote implies that the study of history is a gradual process that requires time and patience. It suggests that through the passage of time, events and experiences become part of collective memory, giving rise to a deeper understanding of the past. History is not an instant or fleeting observation, but a long-standing process of creating and preserving a narrative of human experiences and achievements. Only over time can the significance and impact of historical events be fully realized and appreciated.
