Here are some very interesting quotes on history. My favorite is from Flaubert, “Our ignorance of history causes us to slander our own times.”
“We learn from history that we learn nothing from history.” - George Bernard Shaw
“Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” - George Santayana
“What experience and history teach is this — that people and governments never have learned anything from history, or acted on principles.” - George Wilhelm Hegel
“Patriotism ruins history.” - Goethe
“Our ignorance of history causes us to slander our own times.” - Gustave Flaubert
“History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.” - Karl Marx
