Experience

You cannot create experience. You must undergo it

Nothing ever becomes real till it is experienced

Skill is the unified force of experience, intellect and passion in their operation

The only source of knowledge is experience

There are many truths of which the full meaning cannot be realized until personal experience has brought it home

When you have really exhausted an experience you always reverence and love it

Experience is the child of thought, and thought is the child of action

It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues

I finally know what distinguishes man from the other beasts: financial worries

One must ask children and birds how cherries and strawberries taste

The art of medicine was to be properly learned only from its practice and its exercise

Three-quarters of the sicknesses of intelligent people come from their intelligence. They need at least a doctor who can understand this sickness

If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health

You know more of a road by having traveled it than by all the conjectures and descriptions in the world.

Every artist was first an amateur

Whoever has trusted a woman has trusted deceivers

A pessimist is a person who has had to listen to too many optimists.

From the errors of others, a wise man corrects his own

Many men owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous difficulties

Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.
