Many quote the famous words of Winston Churchill “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” However, if one delves further into where this astute phrase originated, you are led back to George Santayana (1863-1952), who likely “borrowed” it from Edmund Burke (1729-1797), a British philosopher, who stated that “Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it.”
