Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.

Summary

This quote suggests that if people are unaware of historical events and their lessons, they are likely to make the same mistakes or face similar consequences as those who lived in the past. Without knowledge of history, individuals are unable to learn from past experiences, make informed decisions, or anticipate potential pitfalls, leading to a repetitive cycle of errors and failures. Therefore, understanding history is essential in breaking this cycle and ensuring a more enlightened and progressive future.

Just as in habiliments it is a sign of weakness to wish to make oneself noticeable by some peculiar and unaccustomed fashion, so, in language, the quest for new-fangled phrases and little-known words comes from a puerile and pedantic ambition.

My goal is to be a household name, and when I do that, I want to help other girls become models, and maybe even launch a fashion line with my mom, like Beyonce did with her mother. My mom has such a good eye, and it's always been a dream of hers.
