History Repeating....

Where did the quote about History Repeating come from?

 

"Variations on the repeating-history theme appear alongside debates about attribution.

Irish statesman Edmund Burke is often misquoted as having said, 
“Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it.”

Spanish philosopher George Santayana is credited with the aphorism, 
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to  repeat it,”

while British statesman Winston Churchill wrote,
 “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat  it.”

Lessons from the past may not always ward off doom, but they can provide insights into the present and even the future."
