As I know the saying, it came from Thomas Aquinas. The original quote was not about 'understanding' but about religious belief, specifically "faith." The original quote is, "To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible." Great quotes like this often get twisted and 'massaged' to fit the borrower's purpose.

I've seen it attributed to Stuart Chase, Franz Werfel, Joseph Dunninger and Thomas Aquinas.
I haven't yet found anything definitive that links it to any of the above (but I'm working on it).
The Aquinas paraphrase is:
"Unbelievers are in ignorance of things that are of faith, for neither do they see or know them in themselves, nor do they know them to be credible. The faithful, on the other hand, know them, not as by demonstration, but by the light of faith which makes them see that they ought to believe them, as stated above." (Summa Theologiae II-II, Q. 1, Art. 5, reply obj. 1)
And some people suggest that it comes from Stuart Chase's 1925 book 'The Tragedy of Waste' - but it doesn't.
I'll keep looking.
