George Santayana wrote, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Someone else said, similarly, “Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it." A third party waggishly replied, "Those few who do study history are doomed to stand by helplessly while everyone else repeats it."
* Did Edmund Burke ever say, "Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it." (Some sources say he did, but it is hard to confirm.)
