Good one.
Personally, I would like to present a slightly different version of this quote.
Learning from our memories, and from history could help not only to realize our responsibility for the future, but also help us to figure out ways to address it, while limiting unsavory events of the past from repeating again and again.
"We are made wise by learning from the past, while figuring out ways to address our responsibility for the future"
