But what experience and history teach is this—that peoples and governments have never learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.”

“Most events recorded in history are more remarkable than important, like eclipses of the sun and moon, by which all are attracted, but whose effects no one takes the trouble to calculate.”
