Motivational Quotes
Experience
Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.
Best Quotes about Experience
Is it not rather what we expect in men, that they should have numerous strands of experience lying side by side and never compare them with each other?
Eliot, George
Experience is determined by yourself -- not the circumstances of your life.
Bellin, Gita
The cat, having sat upon a hot stove lid, will not sit upon a hot stove lid again. But he won't sit upon a cold stove lid, either.
Twain, Mark
Where you are in consciousness has everything to do with what you see in experience.
Butterworth, Eric
The fool knows after he's suffered.
Hesiod
Man arrives as a novice at each age of his life.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De
Only he who can view his own past as an abortion sprung from compulsion and need can use it to full advantage in the present. For what one has lived is at best comparable to a beautiful statue which has had all its limbs knocked off in transit, and now yields nothing but the precious block out of which the image of one's future must be hewn.
Benjamin, Walter
If what happens does not make us richer, we must welcome it if it makes us wiser.
Johnson
It is all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back.
Jagger, Mick
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.
Twain, Mark
Experience is the extract of suffering.
Helps, Sir Arthur
In going where you have to go, and doing what you have to do, and seeing what you have to see, you dull and blunt the instrument you write with. But I would rather have it bent and dulled and know I had to put it on the grindstone again and hammer it into shape and put a whetstone to it, and know that I had something to write about, than to have it bright and shining and nothing to say, or smooth and well oiled in the closet, but unused.
Hemingway, Ernest
Jumping to conclusions can be a bad exercise
A little experience often upsets a lot of theory.
Cadman
If we could sell our experience for what they cost us, we'd all be millionaires.
Van Buren, Abigail
One of the greatest moments in anybody's developing experience is when he no longer tries to hide from himself but determines to get acquainted with himself as he really is.
Peale, Norman Vincent
Experience is the only prophecy of wise men.
Lamartine, Alphonse De
Experience teaches slowly and at the cost of mistakes.
James A. Froude
Take time to gather up the past so that you will be able to draw from your experience and invest them in the future.
Rohn, Jim
Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced -- even a proverb is no proverb to you till your life has illustrated it.
Keats, John
By far the best proof is experience.
Sir Francis Bacon
I had a lot of experience with people smarter than I am.
Ford, Gerald R.
Experience is a school where a man learns what a big fool he has been.
Billings, Josh
One is taught by experience to put a premium on those few people who can appreciate you for what you are.
Godwin, Gail
Experience is a wonderful thing, it enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
Whatever you dwell on in the conscious grows in your experience.
Tracy, Brian
In times of rapid change, experience could be your worst enemy.
Getty, J. Paul
I probably hold the distinction of being one movie star who, by all laws of logic, should never have made it. At each stage of my career, I lacked the experience.
Hepburn, Audrey
It is not necessary that you leave the house. Remain at your table and listen. Do not even listen, only wait. Do not even wait, be wholly still and alone. The world will present itself to you for its unmasking, it can do no other, in ecstasy it will writhe at your feet.
Kafka, Franz
I know by my own pot how the others boil.
Proverb, French
Experience keeps a school, yet fools will learn in no other.
Franklin, Benjamin
There is no wider gulf in the universe than yawns between those on the hither and thither side of vital experience.
West, Rebecca
Bad experience is a school that only fools keep going to.
Benson, Ezra Taft
Don't learn to do, but learn in doing. Let your falls not be on a prepared ground, but let them be bona fide falls in the rough and tumble of the world.
Butler, Samuel
The rules which experience suggest are better than those which theorists elaborate in their libraries.
Storrs, R. S.
Perhaps the single most important element in mastering the techniques and tactics of racing is experience. But once you have the fundamentals, acquiring the experience is a matter of time.
LeMond, Greg
Experience is what keeps a man who makes the same mistake twice from admitting it the third time around.
Mccormick, Terry
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.
Barry LePatner
Experience is the worst teacher; it gives the test before presenting the lesson.
Law, Vernon S.
The only source of knowledge is experience.
Einstein, Albert
He who has been bitten by a snake fears a piece of string.
Proverb, Persian
But human experience is usually paradoxical, that means incongruous with the phrases of current talk or even current philosophy.
Eliot, George
Oh, how bitter it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes.
Grenfell, Wilfred T.
It takes half your life before you discover life is a do-it-yourself project.
Hill, Napoleon
Experience that destroys innocents also leads one back to it.
Baldwin, James
You cannot acquire experience by making experiments. You cannot create experience. You must undergo it.
Albert Camus
You can't create experience. You must undergo it.
Camus, Albert
Experience is in the fingers and head. The heart is inexperienced.
Thoreau, Henry David
Human beings hardly ever learn from the experience of others. They learn; when they do, which isn't often, on their own, the hard way.
Heinlein, Robert
If you've seen one redwood, you've seen them all.
Reagan, Ronald
