Summary
This quote, often attributed to Mark Twain, suggests that while history does not exactly repeat itself, it often bears similarities or patterns with events from the past. It implies that various historical events, even in different contexts or time periods, can share common themes, outcomes, or characteristics. This idea highlights the cyclical nature of history, indicating that by recognizing these patterns, we can gain insights and understanding into contemporary events as they "rhyme" with the events of the past.
