Experience
  • The only thing we have learnt from experience is that we learn nothing from experience.

  • I like to think of my behavior in the sixties as a 'learning experience.' Then again, I like to think of anything stupid I've done as a 'learning experience.' It makes me feel less stupid.

  • Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me.

  • Enthusiasm - a distemper of youth, curable by small doses of repentance in connection with outward applications of experience.

  • The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages are perpetuated by quotations.
