Quote by Sir Walter Raleigh

Who so desireth to know what will be hereafter, let him think of what is past, for the world hath ever been in a circular revolution; whatsoever is now, was heretofore; and things past or present, are no other than such as shall be again: Redit orbis in orbem.

Who so desireth to know what will be hereafter, let him thin

Summary

This quote suggests that if one wants to understand what will happen in the future, they should examine what has occurred in the past. The world operates in a continuous cycle, and whatever exists now has existed before and will exist again. This view implies that history repeats itself and that patterns from the past can offer insights into what will come next. The Latin phrase "Redit orbis in orbem" emphasizes the idea of the world returning to a circular motion, reinforcing the notion of cyclical patterns in human existence.
