Not ego-centric

I believe this is the earliest quote I have found to date about learning from the past. Cicero lived 106BC - 43BC. I did not mean for this project to focus so much on repeating the past or learning. But I'm excited to find these and from such different times.

“To be ignorant of what happened before you were born is to be ever a child. For what is man's lifetime unless the memory of past events is woven with those of earlier times?” - Marcus Tullius Cicero

What have you learned from the past that will help you in the future?
