Be careful who you’re quoting. Churchill never said that.

The actual quote is “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” George Santayana

Thank you for the lesson, however in this case Churchill was not quoting Santayana; he was paraphrasing him.

Another good quote that relates to learning history: "Who knows only his only generation remains always a child".

Variously attributed to Cicero or Isocrates.
