I've been at this game long enough to learn to be very suspicious of quotes that only show up on the Internet as just that, a quote; supposedly attributed to someone famous but never a reference to a source, or put into some greater context. Until I see a verifiable source, I don't believe Santanya ever wrote this, though he may have expressed it in other words. It sounds like a proverb to me.
