        Those who do not study the past are doomed to repeat it, but those of us who do study the past are doomed to watch others repeat it.

        The problem with most people including politicians is that they don't learn from history and keep making the same mistakes over and over again.

        Define "belongs" please. It seems you're implying "wisdom" and I do not see the present or past belonging to the wise to any significant degree.

        Being knowledgeable about the past is important but one has to be careful to not be held hostage to the past restricting their vision of the future.
