Experience is the teacher of all things.

Experience teaches effectually, but brutally. It makes us acquainted with all the effects of an action, by causing us to feel them; and we cannot fail to finish by knowing that fire burns, if we have burned ourselves. For this rough teacher, I should like, if possible, to substitute a more gentle one. I mean Foresight. For this purpose I shall examine the consequences of certain economical phenomena, by placing in opposition to each other those which are seen, and those which are not seen.

The best teacher is experience and not through someone's distorted point of view

Experience is the best teacher, and the worst experiences teach the best lessons.

Experience teaches only the teachable.

Education is experience and experience is self-reliance.

Experience - the wisdom that enables us to recognise in an undesirable old acquaintance the folly that we have already embraced.

It is beyond a doubt that all our knowledge begins with experience.

In all the works on pedagogy that ever I read — and they have been many, big, and heavy — I don't remember that any one has advocated a system of teaching by practical jokes, mostly cruel. That, however, describes the method of our great teacher, Experience.

Experience can be a very bad teacher, indeed, or not teacher at all. It is like the silly phrase, “Practice makes perfect.” In most cases, practice merely confirms us in our errors, and the longer we do something the wrong way - that is, without enlightenment and instruction- the more fixed we become in our folly.

Wisdom is the daughter of experience

Experience is a brutal teacher, but you learn fast.

You have learned the lesson by experience.

fundamentally, experience precedes technical knowledge.
