No source found for «Душа не учится; она только вспоминает то, что она всегда знала». The thought is Plato's doctrine that learning is recollection (Meno 81c-d, Phaedo 72e); no saying with this wording under this name was found. The Jubilee name index prints the name «Даудель Гаффир». The Jubilee name index lists the name with this page only and no identification. «Хаджи Абдул Гезди» (5-1.8) proved to be Burton's pseudonymous Hâjî Abdû el-Yezdî, so this name too may be a pen name or an invented "Eastern" signature in an English source; the calendars in the Jubilee source list (The Higher Thought Calendar, 1904; the Theosophical Publishing Society's Perpetual Calendar), which were not found online, are possible sources.
Searched: Thoughts of Wise Men (1903) and its source list (Jubilee vol. 40); the Jubilee vols. 41-42 (name index, attribution corrections, source list); Conway's Sacred Anthology; d'Herbelot, Bibliothèque orientale vol. I; Palmer's Oriental Mysticism; the Desatir (1888 reprint); Burton's Kasîdah; Southgate (both), Coit, Tileston; the saved issues of The World's Advance-Thought and The Coming Day; web searches for the name with the English of the saying.
Translation note. The name is given as Tolstoy wrote it, «Дауд ель Гаффир»; whom it names is uncertain.
