What's past is prologue.
--William Shakespeare
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
--George Santayana
The past is never dead. It's not even past.
--William Faulkner
History is the present. That's why every generation writes it anew.
--E.L. Doctorow
History doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes.
--Mark Twain (maybe)
History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.
--Karl Marx
The past is a foreign country. They do things differently there.
--L.P. Hartley
History. An account, mostly false, of events, mostly unimportant, which are brought about by rulers, mostly knaves, and soldiers, mostly fools.
-- Ambrose Bierce
