Langston Hughes on history

What happens to a dream deferred?

O, let America be America again —
The land that never has been yet —
And yet must be — the land where every man is free.

Humor is laughing at what you haven’t got when you ought to have it.

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
