The quotation "Walk forwards in the radiance of the past" connects to the Renaissance principle of humanism by suggesting that "Humanity progresses by building upon past knowledge." This reflects the humanist belief in the value of classical learning and the importance of drawing inspiration from the achievements of earlier thinkers to foster progress and innovation in society.
