Do you mean
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
This saying comes from the writings of George Santayana, a Spanish-born American author of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
It means that studying history is necessary to avoid repeating past mistakes.

I think you mean: Those who ignore History are doomed to repeat it. ~~ George Santayana (This is the popular misquote. What he really said was Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.)
