"Those that live in the past are doomed to repeat it" ?

Question

Where did this quote orginate form?

Answer 1

They never enjoy the present and never see the farsightedness of future.

Answer 2

Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement: and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Answer 6

It is those who forget the past! George Santayana

Answer 7

I think it's more that those who don't learn from the past--otherwise, people could choose where in the past they most liked, live as if they were there, and then get to repeat it.  That would be kinda neat, almost like time travel, and it would be interesting to see where people chose to live.

Answer 8

No, "...do not learn from..."   not "live in"
