Knowledge Quotes
-

We can learn from history how past generations thought and acted, how they responded to the demands of their time and how they solved their problems. We can learn by analogy, not by example, for our circumstances will always be different than theirs were.

They foreclose the possibility of making other choices and thus they determine future events.
