“History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.”
“That is life. Just one long succession of misunderstandings and rash acts and what not. Absolutely.”
“Remember that all through history, there have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they seem invincible. But in the end, they always fall. Always.”
“Mark Twain once said that history doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.”
“Maybe a long life does have to be filled with many unpleasant conditions if it's to seem long. But in that event, who wants one?”
