Character is determined more by the lack of certain experiences than by those one has had.
Friedrich Nietzsche – Character, Experience
Experience, as a desire for experience, does not come off. We must not study ourselves while having an experience.
Friedrich Nietzsche – Experience
Experience has taught me this, that we undo ourselves by impatience. Misfortunes have their life and their limits, their sickness and their health.
Michel de Montaigne – Experience, Misfortune
A verse from the Veda says, ‘What you see, you become.’ In other words, just the experience of perceiving the world makes you what you are. This is a quite literal statement.
Deepak Chopra – Experience, Perception
Emotion brings in the dimension of bonding or tuning in: An experience that touches your heart makes the meaning that much more personal.
Deepak Chopra – Emotion, Experience
When the human organism is discharging its negative experience efficiently, the mind is empty of past or future concerns; there is no worry, anticipation, or regret. This means that the mind is left open to Being, the simplest state of awareness.
Deepak Chopra – Experience, Mind
But human experience is usually paradoxical, that means incongruous with the phrases of current talk or even current philosophy.
George Eliot – Experience
Experience is in the fingers and head. The heart is inexperienced.
Henry David Thoreau – Experience
Live life fully while you’re here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up! You’re going to anyway, so you might as well enjoy the process. Take the opportunity to learn from your mistakes: find the cause of your problem and eliminate it. Don’t try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.
Anthony Robbins – Life, Experience
I probably hold the distinction of being one movie star who, by all laws of logic, should never have made it. At each stage of my career, I lacked the experience.
Audrey Hepburn – Acting, Experience
As long as you are unable to access the power of the Now, every emotional pain that you experience leaves behind a residue of pain that lives on in you.
Eckhart Tolle – Pain, Experience
I know not anything more pleasant, or more instructive, than to compare experience with expectation, or to register from time to time the difference between idea and reality. It is by this kind of observation that we grow daily less liable to be disappointed.
Samuel Johnson – Experience, Expectation
Experience keeps a school, yet fools will learn in no other.
Benjamin Franklin – Experience
We learn from experience that men never learn anything from experience.
George Bernard Shaw – Experience, Learning
A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way.
