“History may not repeat itself, but it rhymes.”
Often attributed to Mark Twain in various forms (for instance “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme”) but there is no evidence that he said it (see for instance https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/01/12/history-rhymes/) although he obviously should have.
