"القدرات العظيمة ليست ضرورية للمؤرخ لأن في التأليف التاريخي يكون الحكم في جمع وترتيب الحقائق والاجتهاد في البحث عنها كافيين"
— Samuel Johnson

Simplified Meaning:
You don't need to be super smart to be a good historian. What matters more is being good at collecting information and organizing it well. For example, think of a detective solving a case. The detective doesn’t have to be a genius; they just need to gather clues carefully and put them together in the right order to understand what happened. Similarly, a historian needs to find facts from the past and arrange them in a way that makes sense. This means you can become a good historian by working hard to find accurate details and using good judgment to present them clearly. It's more about effort and organization than natural talent.
