Wisdom is the daughter of experience.

Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience.

When people tell me they've learned from experience, I tell them the trick is to learn from other people's experience.

Experience is a truer guide than the words of others.

Even the hard times are part of your life story. If you acknowledge them and move past them, they eventually add up to the experience that makes you wise.

You take all the experience and judgment of men over 50 out of the world and there wouldn't be enough left to run it.
