By law of periodical repetition, everything which has happened once must happen again and again -- and not capriciously, but at regular periods, and each thing in its own period, not another's and each obeying its own law.

Summary

This quote suggests that history and events tend to repeat themselves in a cyclical manner. It implies that anything that has occurred once will inevitably occur again at regular intervals, governed by their own specific patterns and laws. This notion proposes a deterministic view of the world, where occurrences are not random but predetermined by a consistent and recurring order.
