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
Wisdom comes from experience. Experience is often a result of lack of wisdom.
-Terry Pratchett
Experience is the extract of suffering.
-Arthur Helps
Experience is one thing you can't get for nothing.
-Oscar Wilde
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 simply the name we give our mistakes.
-Oscar Wilde
Is there anyone so wise as to learn by the experience of others?
-Voltaire
