The devil knows more from experience than from being the devil
Conviction without experience makes for harshness.
I think it can be incredibly powerful for a teen to be able to put their story out there for others to soak in, learn from, relate to. In some ways, it validates their experience, which for teens (or for anybody, really) is a pretty huge deal.
Personal experience, therefore, is everything in Zen. No ideas are intelligible to those who have no backing of experience.
Hillary Clinton has experience, but it's bad experience.
It is convenient to distinguish the two kinds of experience which have thus been described, the experienc-ing and the experienc-ed, by technical words.
Growing old is, of all things we experience, that which takes the most courage, and at a time when we have the least resources, especially with which to meet frustration.
I had years of experience that I still needed to accumulate and go through.
Everything depends on the quality of the experience which is had.
Truth is what will be steadily borne out by subsequent experience
What we know and believe is just a program; it is nothing but words, opinions, and ideas we learn from others and from our own life experience.
The only real experience that counts, is your own.
Now that I've got a way in [to the industry] - because it can feel a bit like, "How can I possibly write a film?" - but now that I've got at least some experience in the film world, I'd absolutely love to do it again.
Enjoy the experience, don't just experience the experience
And if I'm guilty of having gratuitous sex, then I'm also guilty of having gratuitous violence, and gratuitous feasting, and gratuitous description of clothes, and gratuitous heraldry, because very little of this is necessary to advance the plot. But my philosophy is that plot advancement is not what the experience of reading fiction is about. If all we care about is advancing the plot, why read novels? We can just read Cliffs Notes.
Because we don't see the evil destroyed now and thus experience the suffering that evil inevitably inflicts, we are tempted to doubt God's existence and goodness.
The mind loves whatever repeats a pleasurable experience from the past. "I love this" basically means "I love repeating what felt so good before".
Regardless of our age, experience, or station in life, we are all missionaries.
I don't think I've ever worked so hard on something, but working on Macintosh was the neatest experience of my life. Almost everyone who worked on it will say that. None of us wanted to release it at the end. It was as though we knew that once it was out of our hands, it wouldn't be ours anymore.
From my personal experience I can conclude that many dreams are clearly written but there are some in which one meets distortions to decipher. And it is really in knowing when one must prefer the one or the other approach, or a combination of the two, that remains one of the important elements of the art of dream interpretation.
