MickinMD ★ Posted February 25, 2020 Share #3 Posted February 25, 2020 The "history will repeat itself" phrase is actually incomplete - it leaves out the qualifier. It was Spanish Philosopher George Santayana who said, around 1900, "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it." I think that's pretty accurate. It's also a cousin to, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Santayana liked what Twain had been saying and decided he wanted to make it his own? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
