George Santayana (December 16, 1863, Madrid – September 26, 1952, Rome), was a philosopher, essayist, poet, and novelist.
A lifelong Spanish citizen, Santayana was raised and educated in the United States, invariably wrote in English, and is considered an American man of letters.
He is perhaps best known for the oft-quoted remark:
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"
From Reason in Common Sense, the first volume of his The Life of Reason.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." Said by George Santayana in the book Life of Reason (page 284): Supposedly said/paraphrased by either Robert F. Kennedy or John F. Kennedy, but these exact words have not been found. Both men did make similar statements about learning from the past, however [copied from source]

No one. The actual quote is, "If we do not remember the past, it is bound to happen again." And George Santayana said the actual one. It's one of my favorite quotes!
