Herodotus on history

Men trust their ears less than their eyes.

Far better is it to have a stout heart always, and suffer one’s share of evils, than to be ever fearing what may happen.

Circumstances rule men; men do not rule circumstances.

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
