What is your question? Is the question whether this quotation is always true? If so, the answer is no. Sometimes people do not make the same mistake someone else did even though they had no knowledge of the previous person's mistake.
Or is your question who is the original author of this prophetic cliche? I can tell you that it was not Winston Churchill.
Churchill may have paraphrased the original quote form George Santayana:
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
