Experience

Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced -- even a proverb is no proverb to you till your life has illustrated it.
- Keats, John
Experience Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Experience

1.
I don't have to have faith, I have experience.
Campbell, Joseph

2.
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

3.
My mind withdrew its thoughts from experience, extracting itself from the contradictory throng of sensuous images, that it might find out what that light was wherein it was bathed.... And thus, with the flash of one hurried glance, it attained to the vision of That Which Is.
Augustine, St.

4.
Experience isn't interesting until it begins to repeat itself. In fact, till it does that, it hardly is experience.
Bowen, Elizabeth

5.
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

6.
You learn from a conglomeration of the incredible past -- whatever experience gotten in any way whatsoever.
Dylan, Bob

7.
Experience is something you get too late to do anything about the mistakes you made while getting it.

8.
Oh, how bitter it is to look into happiness through another man's eyes.
Grenfell, Wilfred T.

9.
Everybody experiences far more than he understands. Yet it is experience, rather than understanding, that influences behavior.
Mcluhan, Marshall

10.
There is a sort of veteran woman of condition, who, having lived always in the grand monde, and having possibly had some gallantries, together with the experience of five and twenty or thirty years, form a young fellow better than all the rules that can be given him. Wherever you go, make some of those women your friends; which a very little matter will do. Ask their advice, tell them your doubts or difficulties as to your behavior; but take great care not to drop one word of their experience; for experience implies age, and the suspicion of age, no woman, let her be ever so old, ever forgives.
Chesterfield, Lord

11.
Experience is the worst teacher; it gives the test before presenting the lesson.
Law, Vernon S.

12.
You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself,'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
Eleanor Roosevelt

13.
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

14.
Experience keeps a school, yet fools will learn in no other.
Franklin, Benjamin

15.
It takes half your life before you discover life is a do-it-yourself project.
Hill, Napoleon

16.
Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.
Aldous Huxley

17.
Bad experience is a school that only fools keep going to.
Benson, Ezra Taft

18.
A little experience often upsets a lot of theory.
Cadman

19.
The notion of a universality of human experience is a confidence trick and the notion of a universality of female experience is a clever confidence trick.
Carter, Angela

20.
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

21.
The more experiments you make the better.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

22.
Experience is a wonderful thing, it enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

23.
Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced -- even a proverb is no proverb to you till your life has illustrated it.
Keats, John

24.
Experience is what you get when you were expecting something else.

25.
By far the best proof is experience.
Sir Francis Bacon

26.
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

27.
Experience is a school where a man learns what a big fool he has been.
Billings, Josh

28.
Experience is in the fingers and head. The heart is inexperienced.
Thoreau, Henry David

29.
Where you are in consciousness has everything to do with what you see in experience.
Butterworth, Eric

30.
Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards.
Vernon Sanders Law

31.
If a man deceives me once, shame on him; if he deceives me twice, shame on me.
Proverb, Italian

32.
Two things control men's nature, instinct and experience.
Pascal, Blaise

33.
I reached in experience the nirvana which is unborn, unrivalled, secure from attachment, undecaying and unstained. This condition is indeed reached by me which is deep, difficult to see, difficult to understand, tranquil, excellent, beyond the reach of mere logic, subtle, and to be realized only by the wise.
Buddha

34.
I try to avoid experience if I can. Most experience is bad.
Doctorow, E. L.

35.
Experience is the key to greatness.
Williams, Arthur

36.
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. If the environment permits it, anyone can learn whatever he chooses to learn; and if the individual permits it, the environment will teach him everything it has to teach.
Spolin, Viola

37.
Experience is often what you get when you were expecting something else.

38.
Out of the multitude of our sense experiences we take, mentally and arbitrarily, certain repeatedly occurring complexes of sense impression (partly in conjunction with sense impressions which are interpreted as signs for sense experiences of others), and we attribute to them a meaning the meaning of the bodily object.
Einstein, Albert

39.
Experience which was once claimed by the aged is now claimed exclusively by the young.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

40.
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

41.
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

42.
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

43.
One is taught by experience to put a premium on those few people who can appreciate you for what you are.
Godwin, Gail

44.
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

45.
Experience. The wisdom that enables us to recognize in an undesirable old acquaintance the folly that we have already embraced.
Bierce, Ambrose

46.
The power to guess the unseen from the seen, to trace the implications of things, to judge the whole piece by the pattern, the condition of feeling life in general so completely that you are well on your way to knowing any particular corner of it --this cluster of gifts may almost be said to constitute experience.
James, Henry

47.
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

48.
My experience has taught me, and it has become a principle with me, that it is never any benefit to give out and out, to man or woman, money, food, clothing, or anything else, if they are able-bodied and can work and earn what they need, when there is anything on earth for them to do. 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.
Fun, Brigham Young

49.
Common experience is the gold reserve which confers an exchange value on the currency which words are; without this reserve of shared experiences, all our pronouncements are checks drawn on insufficient funds.
Daumal, Rene

50.
Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the Government's purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal well meaning but without understanding.
Brandeis, Louis D.
