Quotes and posts

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. - George Santayana, The Life of Reason, Volume 1, 1905
Here is a more fuller version of this quotatioin:
Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. In the first stage of life the mind is frivolous and easily distracted, it misses progress by failing in consecutiveness and persistence. This is the condition of children and barbarians, in which instinct has learned nothing from experience. - George Santayana, The Life of Reason, Volume 1, 1905
I just feel like sharing that quote for today. Hope you had a nice day! ______________________________________________________ Additional posts for today: Wallace and Gromit Masahista Another rainy day in Makati Laguna Lake or Laguna de Bai
