About This Quote

History is written by the winners. I’m sure you’ve heard this before, and if you haven’t then you’re probably well aware of the fact that history is written by the victors. What we learn from our past, and what we learn to be true, aren’t always what we think we should learn. The world has a way of repeating itself over and over again.
