This one I find interesting:
"The great wars of the present age are the effects of the study of history."
- Friedrich Nietzsche

So it's all the historians fault! If it weren't for them, there would be no wars!

Wait a minute! Thucydides (460-400 BC) was the the first historian, right? And we had wars before then! What of the Trojan War (circa 1200 BC)?
