More from Gibbon

Still working my way through Gibbon - now at volume V.

The following is his way of saying that those who don't know history are condemned to repeat it:


" The experience of past faults, which may sometimes correct the mature age of an individual, is seldom profitable to the successive generations of mankind. "

Gibbon, Edward
History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire
Volume V, page 132 (Folio edition)
