'Hegel has remarked somewhere that history repeats itself. He forgot,
however, to mention: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce'.
I am quoting from memory, and translating from the German but, as they say
frequently here, 'you could look it up'.

History repeats itself, and that's one of the things that's wrong
with history.
--Clarence Darrow
History does not repeat itself. Historians repeat each other.
-- Arthur Balfour
It is horrible to see everthing that one detested in the past
coming back wearing the colours of the future.

The one thing that does not change is that at any and every
time it appears that there have been 'great changes'.
--Proust, 'Within a Budding Grove', 1919
Resist your time--take a foothold outside it.
--Lord Acton, MSS notes, Cambridge, late 19th century
The certainties of one age are the problems of the next.
--R. H. Tawney, _Religion and the Rise of Capitalism_, 1926
They that say the world grows worse and worse are very much
mistaken, for Adam who had but one commandment to keep broke that, and
Cain slew his brother Abel when there was but two of them to share the
whole world.
--Samuel Butler (I), _Prose Observations_, 1660-80
History is a drama without a denouement; every decision glides
over into a resumption of the plot.
