As Otto Von Bismarck once said: "Fools learn from experience. I prefer to learn from the experience of others."

Sure - and Plato once said: "Quotation marks are always a sign of absolute truth."
An he also said: “Don’t believe everything that is attributed to me as truth, especially question those who put “my words” under fake quotation marks.”
He also said "What we learn from History is that no one learns from History."

He was the Prussian friggin' Yogi Berra.

How old was Bismark when he said that?
What difference does it make?
