"History never repeats itself, but it rhymes"
-Mark Twain
Split enz also has a popular song with "History never repeats. I tell myself before I go to sleep".
The other quote you're your probably thinking of
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"
-George Santayana
So all in all I'd say you're right on the thrust of the generally popular quotes but not necessarily on their wording.
