English Literal Translation: "He who doesn't look back can't get to where he is going."
I think it can also be translated as the popular phrase: “Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it”.

Something similar is said here: "Quien olvida su historia está condenado a repetirla". In a quick search I've seen that this sentence was written by Jorge Agustín de Santayana (in short, he had a lot of names and surnames
).
But the sentence is true.
