Experience teaches only the teachable.

Experience praises the most happy the one who made the most people happy.

You can't create experience. You must undergo it.

One thing about the school of experience is that it will repeat the lesson if you flunk the first time.

And though we would not have them back again on any account, we feel that they are both beautiful, because we have drunk them dry.
