I prefer the English translation, it’s more direct, though it does lack the bit about avoiding your own mistakes.
A more literal translation for those that don’t speak German:
Those that attempt to learn from their mistakes are idiots. I always try to learn from the mistakes of others and avoid making any myself.
Note: I’m not a German speaker, what I know of the language is from three years of high school classes taken over a decade ago, but I think this translation is more or less correct.

It’s not exactly the quote.
Bismark doesn’t speak about people who attempt to learn but who believe they learn.
I stand corrected, thank you.
