You cannot acquire experience by making experiments. You cannot create
experience. You must undergo it.
Albert Camus (1913 - 1960)

to him.
Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963), "Texts and Pretexts", 1932
Experience teaches only the teachable.
Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963)

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the
experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to
do so.
Douglas Adams (1952 - 2001), "Last Chance to See"
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 (1884 - 1962)
Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when
you make it again.
Franklin P. Jones
Experience teaches slowly and at the cost of mistakes.
James A. Froude (1818 - 1894)
Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for
experience.
James Boswell (1740 - 1795), Life of Samuel Johnson, 1791
Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.
Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900), Lady Windermere's Fan, 1892, Act III
By far the best proof is experience.
Sir Francis Bacon (1561 - 1626)
Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson
afterwards.
