Experience is the teacher of all things....

I love the name of honor, more than I fear death.

Which death is preferably to every other? 'The unexpected'.

It is not these well-fed long-haired men that I fear, but the pale and the hungry-looking.

Experience is a revelation in the light of which we renounce our errors of youth for those of age.

No man was ever so completely skilled in the conduct of life, as not to receive new information from age and experience.

I got to experience soccer at the highest level at a young age I decided I wanted to be part of that for as long as possible.

The great book for you is the book that has the most to say to you at the moment when you are reading. I do not mean the book that is most instructive, but the book that feeds your spirit. And that depends on your age, your experience, your psychological and spiritual need.

I wanted to be a teacher. I love children, so I wanted to deal with children. Then I wanted to be a veterinarian. But by the age of ten or eleven, when I opened my mouth and said, 'Oh, God, what's this?' I kind of knew teaching and being a veterinarian were gonna have to wait.

It is the malady of our age that the young are so busy teaching us that they have no time left to learn.

I basically started playing violin at the age of six. That lasted about three years because my previous teacher died and the second teacher didn't really know how to successfully get me going.

You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.
