“History is studied. Lessons are learned from it.”
“That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach.”
“The lesson of history is that we don't learn the lessons of history.”
“The lesson of history is that no one learns.”
“In history, as in traveling, men usually see only what they already had in their own minds; and few learn much from history, who do not bring much with them to its study.”
“We learn from history that we do not learn from history.”
