"Life can only be understood backwards but it must be lived forwards."
Soren Kierkegaard on Experience"The only source of knowledge is experience."
Albert Einstein on Experience"Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn."
C. S. Lewis on Experience"Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes."
Oscar Wilde on Experience"A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way."
Mark Twain on Experience"But I can only take so much TV, because there is so much advice. I find people will preach about virtually anything - your diet, how to live your life, how to improve your golf. The lot. I have always had a thing against the Mister Know-It-Alls."

"I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: 'try being rich first'. See if that doesn't cover most of it. There's not much downside to being rich, other than paying taxes and having your relatives ask you for money. But when you become famous, you end up with a 24-hour job."
"There aren't many downsides to being rich, other than paying taxes and having relatives asking for money. But being famous, that's a 24 hour job right there."
