Here is one abused, misunderstood and misquoted quote. I say that because people quote this most of the time as an excuse for anything.
It's quite the opposite.
Here is one quote that should be quoted ;
The same quote should be used for history which is experience ;
History is not what happens to you/us,
History is what you/us do, with what happens to you/us.
If there is a quote to correctly quote the subject of history, IMHO, i think this is one;
Gustave Flaubert
Our ignorance of history causes us to slander our own times
Which makes me say this;
Our ignorance of ourselves causes us to not know ourselves and our purpose of life/living.
