'If we can learn the lessons of the past we will be able to avoid making mistakes in the future' (Tony Blair)

‘We know that we cannot understand a situation in life without some perception of where it fits into a continuing process or whether it has happened before…. Our sense of what is practicable on the future is formed by an awareness of what has happened - or not happened - in the past. J Tosh
