 * Quote 1: "Every time history repeats itself, the price goes up." Anonymous**

Maybe not meaning literal price (money) but more like a consequence. So every time history repeats itself, the consequence of the actions get worse. It could also literally mean the price goes up because the economy was bad once before and everything was up in prices, just like it is now, except a little bit worse (maybe?).


 * Quote 2: "Those who can not remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana**

The first thing that comes to mind when I see this quote is that those who have made mistakes or bad choices in their past and did not learn from them, are bound to make the same mistakes/bad choices again.


 * Quote 3: "The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present. History is a hill or a high point of vantage, from which alone men can see the town in which they live or the age in which they are living." G.K. Chesterton**

Knowing what has gone on in your past or just THE PAST in general is helpful because if you know what has already happened you are better prepared and/or have a pretty good idea of what is on the road ahead. If we know our history we then know ourselves and know of the things around us.
