Phrase(s): Happy is the country which has no history.
Prov. Since history tends to record only violent, unfortunate, or tumultuous events, a country with no history would be a country lucky enough to have no such unhappy events to record. • The history of our country is so full of greed, violence, and dishonesty; happy is the country which has no history.
