Lee BensonHistory never repeats itself, historians do.
About This Quote
To say history never repeats itself is to say that history will never happen again. To say history does repeat itself is to say that history can be repeated. History can be repeated, but not necessarily in the exact same way. This statement is often used to emphasize the fact that it is impossible to predict the future. That’s because, as Winston Churchill said , “History does not repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” While you cannot predict what will happen next, you can predict that whatever has happened before will happen again.
