A couple of favorite quotes:
“History teaches us that man learns nothing from history.”
— Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (paraphrased and often repeated by Winston Churchill) from Vorlesungen über die Philosophie der Geschichte (Lectures on the Philosophy of History). This quote translated from the 1837 edition of this work.
“History is nothing but philosophy teaching by examples.”
— Enlightenment philosopher Viscount Bolingbroke, as cited in Isaiah Berlin, The Roots of Romanticism (Princeton University Pr., 1999), page 29.
