Who was the french revolutionary who famously said something like you cannot look to the past for answers as it is full of mistakes what was the actual quote and what was his name?

What does The Revolution Ends By Devouring Its Own Children mean?
The original revolutionaries, once they are mostly successful, are now worried about some future revolutionaries starting a different revolution, to redo the society once again. To the original revolutionaries, what they believed in was right. So, what's the need for another revolution, they think. So, they do not want another revolution after their revolution, or a revolution within their revolution. In the chaos of their revolution, they have the incentive and means to wipe out anyone they think differs from their viewpoint. In the same chaos, someone else can wipe out the original revolutionaries, and hijack the revolution. The incentive of money, power, women, and future good life is far too much to resist.
What does the quotation They learned nothing and forgot nothing mean?
The quotation "They learned nothing and forgot nothing" is often attributed to French statesman Charles Maurice de Talleyrand.

In essence, it suggests a lack of growth, progress, or change in behavior, leading to stagnation or repetition of negative patterns.

Who was Edmund Burke?
I only know this because my AP US History class is having a debate & Edmund is my character. Edmund Burke wrote this book about Vindication. & Then he married a doctor's daughter, she was important too, but I don't remember her name. Then later, after the Revolution, he examined the French Revolution & wrote another book, "Reflections on the Revolution in France" That one, was a big hit. He basically developed his ideas from the Vindication book, & completed them to make an awesome book people actually felt like reading.Sorry if this didn't help... (:
