A Quote for Saturday
This may seem overly pessimistic, but it's hard to argue that makes it inaccurate. It's from the the German philosopher Georg W.F. Hegel (1770-1831):
"What experience and history teach is this-- that people
and governments have never learned anything from the
study of history, or acted on principles deduced from it."
"What experience and history teach is this-- that peopleand governments have never learned anything from the
study of history, or acted on principles deduced from it."
