“As one who fought in all of Israel's wars, and learned from personal experience that without proper force, we do not have a chance of surviving in this region, which does not show mercy towards the weak, I have also learned from experience that the sword alone cannot decide this bitter dispute in this land.”

“What holds the world together, as I have learned from bitter experience, is sexual intercourse.”

““Life experience” does not amount to very much and could be learned from novels alone, e. g., from Balzac, without any help from life.”

“Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.”

“We learn from experience that men never learn anything from experience.”

“While it is wise to learn from experience, it is wiser to learn from the experiences of others.”

“Only the foolish learn from experience - the wise learn from the experience of others.”

“I can assert that it is this belief in learning from experience, a growth mindset, the power of chance events, and self-reflection that have helped me grow to the present.”

“We do not want to fight — but we have fought before. And others in earlier times have made the same dangerous mistake of assuming that the West was too selfish and too soft and too divided to resist invasions of freedom in other lands. Those who threaten to unleash the forces of war on a dispute over West Berlin should recall the words of the ancient philosopher: "A man who causes fear cannot be free from fear."”
