If you don't know history, you don't know anything. You are a leaf that doesn't know it is part of a tree.

About This Quote

If you don't know history, you don't know anything. You are a leaf that doesn't know it is part of a tree. The quote above is so true and so much more. History puts everything in its place and we cannot deny its existence in our life.

History can also provide us with lessons to be learnt and used in the future. History teaches us that there is no such thing as an isolated incident. Every action has a reaction that can be either positive or negative in nature.
