If History teaches any lesson at all, it is that there are no historical lessons.

Lucien Febvre

Just because you are innocent does not mean that others cannot harm you. History teaches us that lesson.

Frederick Lenz

The eight laws of learning are explanation, demonstration, imitation, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition.

John Wooden

I believe history teaches us a categorical lesson: that once a people are determined to become free, then nothing in the world can stop them reaching their goal.

Desmond Tutu

History teaches, perhaps, very few clear lessons. But surely one such lesson learned by the world at great cost is that aggression, unopposed, becomes a contagious disease.

Jimmy Carter

The saying "He who teaches others, teaches himself" is very true, not only because constant repetition impresses a fact indelibly on the mind, but because the process of teaching itself gives deeper insight into the subject taught.

John Amos Comenius

Everyone would like to believe that anyone possibly exposed to a serious contagious disease would comply with self-quarantine requirements. But history teaches a different lesson.

Sharyl Attkisson

The history of science teaches only too plainly the lesson that no single method is absolutely to be relied upon, that sources of error lurk where they are least expected, and that they may escape the notice of the most experienced and conscientious worker.

John William Strutt

Repetition may not entertain, but it teaches.

Frederic Bastiat

Every book teaches a lesson, even if the lesson is only that one has chosen the wrong book.

Mason Cooley

If history teaches anything, it teaches self-delusion in the face of unpleasant facts is folly.

Ronald Reagan

If history teaches anything, it teaches that self-delusion in the face of unpleasant facts is folly.

Ronald Reagan

If history teaches us one thing, than that history teaches us nothing.

Peter Ustinov

If history teaches us anything, it teaches that simple-minded appeasement or wishful thinking about our adversaries is folly.

Ronald Reagan

There are some who, for varying reasons, would appease Red China. They are blind to history's clear lesson, for history teaches with unmistakable emphasis that appeasement but begets new and bloodier war. It points to no single instance where this end has justified that means, where appeasement has led to more than a sham peace. Like blackmail, it lays the basis for new and successively greater demands until, as in blackmail, violence becomes the only other alternative.

Douglas MacArthur

If history teaches anything, it teaches humility.

Gordon S. Wood
