Every time history repeats itself the price goes up. -Anonymous
History ... is, indeed, little more than the register of the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind. But what experience and history teach is this--that peoples and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it. - Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles. -Karl Marx
History is strewn with the wrecks of nations which have gained a little progressiveness at the cost of a great deal of hard manliness, and have thus prepared themselves for destruction as soon as the the movements of the world gave a chance for it. - Walter Bagehot (The Third World)
Note: Some of the statues on Easter Island have already faced their downfall as we would probably expect of the statue of liberty (figuratively speaking) in the next century.
