Wisdom is the daughter of experience

The experience gathered from books, though often valuable, is but the nature of learning whereas the experience gained form actual life is of the nature of wisdom.

Translation: Only the foolish learn from experience - the wise learn from the experience of others.

The value of experience is not in seeing much, but in seeing wisely.

We want to learn the lesson and not repeat the experience. But in truth, we do not like to look too closely at what we did; our introspection is limited. Our natural response is to blame others, circumstances, or a momentary lapse of judgment.

Wisdom is the echo of experience.

Careful. We don't want to learn from this.

What we learn from experience depends on the kind of philosophy we bring to experience.

Experience - the wisdom that enables us to recognise in an undesirable old acquaintance the folly that we have already embraced.

We learn, when we learn, only from experience, and then we only learn from our mistakes. Our successes only serve to reinforce our superstitions.

We should not look back unless it is to derive useful lessons from past errors, and for the purpose of profiting by dearly bought experience.
