Adolf Hitler on history

The leader of genius must have the ability to make different
opponents appear as if they belonged to one category.

The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.

How lucky for those in power that people don’t think.

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

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

Harry S. Truman1884–1972

History is a gallery of pictures in which there are few originals and many copies.
