Lots of people have had similar sentiments, but that quote is attributed to George Santayana.
George Santayana
i don't know because im a first grader
As the great philosopher Georges Santayana said, "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it". In other words, if you understand your past history you can learn from your mistakes and not repeat them in the future. However this also means you can learn from your successes and endeavour in future to use the same techniques where possible to ensure future success.
i am sure, that the mean of this quotation is "if u remember your past experiences, all mistake and promise with you not repeat again so it is a surety of that your future must be bright
The more we know about the past, the more prepared we are for the future
You can never accurately foretell anything. But if you know the history of a thing it is easier to make an informed guess about it's future. The past informs the future.

the past has been, the future will be done. do we really need to know the past to know the future? If we knew the exact date of Christopher Columbus would that change the future? You don't know what matters from the past enough to know how it will affect the future.
The past tense of know is knew, and the future tense is will know.
i don't know because im a first grader
To learn from our past, we must first pick out where we made mistakes and how we faltered. From there, we identify how we could have done better so as not to make the same mistakes in future.
you should know the mistakes you made in your past, so it means don't make the same mistakes again in order to have a future's better past.
You can know your mistake and fix them
First of all, the quote has a popular mistake. The actual quote uses to the "divine" not "define." What does divine mean? Archaically, it meant the ability to prophesy (i.e., to predict the future). In plain English, the quote says, "If you want to get a good idea of what the future is going to be, then you should study your past." Using reverse logic, the negative-inverse is that if you do not study your past, you will not know the likely future. The inference taken from this in the study of philosophy is that you are more likely to make the same mistakes if you do not study your past. As the prior post stated, "If you know the past (cause) then you can guess the future (effect)."
There is a past, present, and future. There was a past; there is a present and there will be a future.
It's 'must be run' because if it were to be 'must be ran' you would be talking in the past tense! -- another answer -- We don't have enough information for a definitive answer If the sentence refers to the present or the future then it is "must be run". If the sentence refers to the past then it is "must have been run" or "must have run". It would help to know the full sentence into which this phrase is to be placed.
There is no such thing as a future participle.The past participle is known and the present participle is knowing.
As the great philosopher Georges Santayana said, "Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it". In other words, if you understand your past history you can learn from your mistakes and not repeat them in the future. However this also means you can learn from your successes and endeavour in future to use the same techniques where possible to ensure future success.
