To know where you're going, you've got to know where you come from.
You've got to know where you come from in order to know where you're going

the French "on" is generally translated by "one" into English, but for this kind of general meaning, in English I think "you" is used the most often.

Thanks for the explanation, Francky. Efee translated it in the 1st person plural, but it is still acceptable I think. General thoughts in Latin may be expressed also in plural form.
