On the one hand I love the spirit of this quote, but on the other, it's pretty solidly not a Twain quote: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2014/01/12/history-rhymes/

I was going to mention that but I went for a more laconic approach. I didn't want it to appear like I had written it, but a long explanation about how it's commonly attributed to Mark Twain but may not be him seemed to make the comment worse.
