Hi Sylvia,

Good point. Yes, every now and then just when we think something maybe new or different, we realized that it's actually a part of history. Thanks for the reminder.

Thanks Lynda Orange Co. Real Estate~Lynda Eisenmann, Broker-Owner, CRS,CRB,GRI,SRES, Brea, CA (Preferred Home Brokers) - We all very amazed when we heard what our friend George read.  Howeve,hopefully we have learned much after 1500 years and that we won't repeat the history!

Isn't this an example of what goes around comes back again sooner or later!  tHANKS!

Hi Pat Pat Tasker Realtor Milwaukee Metro Area WI (Shorewest Realtors):  Unfortunately, it almost look that way from what happened during the past weeks, but I am sure with the collective wisdom, we will reverse the trend!  

It os true that through out our history and our countrys history it has been repeated again and again. The future is now and we need to make it right!

Hi Laura Laura Jefferson, Lexington/Columbia SC Realtor (Acquire Real Estate): I agree and it take all of us one step of time to make it right. 

Those that don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Hi Sylvia, It is funny how history seems to repeat itself.  "There is nothing new under the sun."

Amazing isn't it? There is a really deep and profound lesson to be learned here. The real question is...will we actually learn?

BTW...thank you so much for praying for my daughter. GBU!

Elizabeth:  You are most welcome.  Hope your daughter is feeling better.  I have both you and your daughter in my thoughts and prayers! 

I hope we do learn.  We have been really spoiled being the leader of the world, and lose our sights.  Hopefully we will go back to the basics and remain the best!

I love the quote, it is amazing how history repeats itself.  We as people are not good at learning from history, we have to make the mistakes for ourselves.  Thanks for the post.

Thanks, Joey, for your comment.  When we heard the quote at the Rotary meeting, we were all amazed.  It's pretty ironic how things come full circle.

I just found on truthorfiction.com that this quote had some things added to it.  They say this is the real quote:

"The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and assistance to foreign hands should be curtailed, lest Rome fall."

I thought you may want to know.

I still like the point of the quote but a little disappointed if someone faked it and passed it around the Internet.

Here is the website http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/c/cicero-plan.htm .

Thanks for the post anyway.

Hi Joey:  Thanks for the info.  I got this from the Rotary meeting and really liked the quote. 

So, according to Truthorfiction.com; part is true from 55BC, the others are added.  I wonder how the quote evolved and how many years it took to morph into what is in my post?  

Fascinating!   Now I have to decide if it's worth letting the Rotarian who quoted this know - he is a lawyer and he will be horrified to find what he quoted is not entirely true.    

LOL,

Yes I would agree, I would probably not tell him myself.  Thanks for the comment on my post.

Joey

So, you got me curious and I googled 55.BC.  Look at what I found http://thoughtsonmesa.blogspot.com/2008/09/cicero-55-bc-united-states-2008.html

Somebody actually quoted this in September.  So TruthorFiction.com is not entirely correct either :-)

I better get back to the basic - WORK!  

Regardless of the quote's origin or correctness, the idea of taking responsibilty is a good one. No it's not new, it is something the entire country if not world needs to revisit.

History keeps repeating itself.................I can't remenber who said it.........Soloman?.......That there's nothing new under the sun? :-)

Thanks, Kristal - I agree.  This quote is timeless and if one good thing coming out of our country's trouble is back to basics and then the hardship we are going to go through is all worith it.

Some things never change - universal principles and ancient wisdom persist .......because they work!
