Best Quotes about Experience

We learn through experience and experiencing, and no one teaches anyone anything. This is as true for the infant moving from kicking to crawling to walking as it is for the scientist with his equations.

This is my principle and I try to act upon it. To pursue a contrary course would ruin any community in the world and make them idlers.
