Albert Einstein
It was the experience of mystery, even if mixed with fear, that engendered religion.

Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.
Experience teaches only the teachable.
Ansel Adams
In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.
Baltasar Gracian
Great ability develops and reveals itself increasingly with every new assignment.
Benjamin Franklin
For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions, even on important subjects, which I once thought right but found to be otherwise.
Experience is a dear teacher, but fools will learn at no other.
C.S. Lewis

Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn. My God do you learn.
Carl Jung

Elbert Hubbard
Progress comes from the intelligent use of experience.
Franklin Jones
Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
GK Chesterton
Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around.
Mark Twain
The man who carries a cat by the tail learns something that can be learned in no other way.
We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it - and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again - and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore.
If you hold a cat by the tail you learn things you cannot learn any other way.
I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.
Muhammad Ali
The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
I don't embrace trouble; that's as bad as treating it as an enemy. But I do say meet it as a friend, for you'll see a lot of it and had better be on speaking terms with it.
