Will Durant on history

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act, but a habit.

Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.

The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.

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
