Voltaire on history

A witty saying proves nothing.

If God has created us in His image, we have more than returned the compliment.

Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme.

The man who has no sense of history, is like a man who has no ears or eyes.

Adolf Hitler1889–1945

There is nothing new in the world except the history you do not know.

Harry S. Truman1884–1972
