Experience is a great teacher but the price may be too high.

Experience helps us to recognise our mistakes when we do them again.

Without experience there is little wisdom.

Next to knowing when to seize an opportunity, the most important thing is knowing when to forgo an advantage.

Today is the scholar of yesterday.

A cripple in the right direction beats a runner in the wrong one.

If you don't learn from the past you will be doomed to repeat it.

No person is born wise.

Lessons are not given, they are learnt.

Those who complain about women usually have a particular one in mind.

The most fascinating women seldom make the best wives.

A stumble may prevent a fall.

Cheerful people can be just as annoying as miserable ones.

You can't go through a difficult time without getting something out of it.
