We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
-Kahlil Gibran "Kahlil Gibran"
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
Many people know so little what is beyond their short range of experience. They look within themselves and find nothing! Therefore, they conclude that there is nothing outside themselves, either.
An experience teaches ably the good observer; but far from seeking a lesson in it, everyone looks for an argument in experience, and everyone interprets the conclusion in his own way.
Experience teaches only the teachable.
-Aldous Huxley
Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced - even a proverb is no proverb to you till your life has illustrated it.
-John Keats
Experience is a revelation in the light of which we renounce our errors of youth for those of age.
-Ambrose Bierce
Experience is the extract of suffering.
-Arthur Helps
When a person with money meets a person with experience, the person with the experience winds up with the money and the person with the money winds up with the experience.
-Harvey McKay
Experience is one thing you can't get for nothing.
-Oscar Wilde
Things gain meaning by being used in a shared experience or joint action.
-John Dewey
