"The Universe repeats itself, with the possible exception of history." Of all earthly studies history is the only one that does not repeat itself. ... Astronomy repeats itself; botany repeats itself; trigonometry repeats itself; mechanics repeats itself; compound long division repeats itself. Every sum if worked out in the same way at any time will bring out the same answer. ... A great many moderns say that history is a science; if so it occupies a solitary and splendid elevation among the sciences; it is the only science the conclusions of which are always wrong.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

History is always repeating itself, but each time the price goes up.

Will Durant

History repeats itself and History never repeats itself are about equally true.

G. M. Trevelyan

History repeats itself and that's just how it goes.

J. Cole

"History repeats itself" and "History never repeats itself" are about equally true ... We never know enough about the infinitely complex circumstances of any past event to prophesy the future by analogy.

G. M. Trevelyan

History repeats itself. Historians repeat each other.

Philip Guedalla

History repeats itself because nobody listens the first time.

Erik Qualman

History repeats itself only in that, from afar, we all seem to lead exactly the same life. We are all born; we all spend time here on earth; we all die. But up close, we have each walked down our own separate paths. We have stood at our own lonely crossroads. We have touched the lives of others at crucial points, for better or for worse. In the end, each of us has lived a unique life story, astounding and complicated, a story that could never be repeated.

Edward Bloor

I'm a strong believer that you can build great companies in time of both greed and fear. But you have to be paying attention and operating under the right assumptions. You don't have to believe history repeats itself, but you should accept that history rhymes.

Brad Feld

I think history repeats itself. There's a constant conversation between the oppressed and the oppressor. No matter what your field is, whether it's gender equality, the Time's Up movement, or diversity casting, it's always going to be a back-and-forth battle.

Michael B. Jordan

True genius repeats itself forever, and never repeats itself--one ever varied sense beams novelty and unity on all.

Johann Kaspar Lavater

Remember that history always repeats itself. Every great bubble in history has broken. There are no exceptions.

Jeremy Grantham

History repeats itself. That's one of the things wrong with history.

Clarence Darrow

History repeats itself, and that's one of the things that's wrong with history.

Clarence Darrow

There was never a time when the world began, because it goes round and round like a circle, and there is no place on a circle where it begins. Look at my watch, which tells the time; it goes round, and so the world repeats itself again and again.

Alan Watts

History repeats itself.

George Eliot
