Those who are ignorant of the past are condemned to repeat it.

"The notion that we can dismiss the views of all previous thinkers surely leaves no basis for the hope that our own work will prove of any value to others... The ideas which now pass for brilliant innovations and advances are in fact mere revivals of ancient errors, and a further proof of the dictum that those who are ignorant of the past are condemned to repeat it."

Henry Hazlitt (business/economic journalist, 1894-1993)
