One of my favourite and funny quotes from the episode Bad Moon Rising in Everybody Loves Raymond:

She's in a bad mood, what? 3 days tops? Soon, it's gonna be 5 days. Then it's a week. Then what was once a bad mood takes over and becomes her only mood! And then...well then you become like me. Where not a day goes by that I don't wish there was a comet screaming towards Earth to bring me sweet relief!!!

Can't believe it. I couldn't resist reading all of these quotes.  Many  were not world changing ones, but definitely some funny reading.

Although, S**t happened twice in here.

[Micah 16]

Who was the person who said something along the lines of "Those who don't learn history are doomed to repeat it". Anyone know that person and the exact qoute?

Winston Churchhill?

[JanYpe 17]

No, Churchill said: History will be kind to me for I intend to write it. I think that quote came from George Santayana.

[Micah 16]

NOB, who said that qoute?

George Santayana? Who?

[JanYpe 17]

Yup, 'twas him.

George Santayana (December 16, 1863, Madrid - September 26, 1952, Rome), was a philosopher, essayist, poet, and novelist.

A lifelong Spanish citizen, Santayana was raised and educated in the United States, invariably wrote in English, and is considered an American man of letters. He is perhaps best known for the oft-misquoted remark, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it," from Reason in Common Sense, the first volume of his The Life of Reason.quote>

To continue the thread, here's another Churchill quote.

"All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

[Easy Bakes 253]

Herea  similar Quote  from George Washington

"How soon we forget history... Government is not reason. Government is not eloquence. It is force. And, like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master"

Two  from Al Hamilton :

"A well adjusted person is one who makes the same mistake twice without getting nervous."

"I have learned to hold popular opinion of no value."

Alexander Hamilton

Now, I gave a real clue by mentioning WW II high-level people.  In this case, the Italian Navigator was Enrico Fermi.  It would do you good to read the history of the Manhattan Project.
