Learn from history or you're doomed to repeat it.

Jesse Ventura
About This Quote

One of the best ways to avoid repeating the mistakes of your ancestors is to learn from their mistakes. Unfortunately, it’s not always so easy. History can be written in many different ways and it is up to each generation to decide what is important and what isn’t. The words of one person may seem like a ringing endorsement while the words of another might be seen as heresy.

When making decisions, take into consideration the purpose behind history’s message. To understand history, you must also understand it.
