The great awareness comes slowly piece by piece. The path of spiritual growth is a path of lifelong learning. The experience of spiritual power is basically a joyful one.

I've learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances.

Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise. View life as a continuous learning experience.

I like to think of my behavior in the sixties as a 'learning experience.' Then again I like to think of anything stupid I've done as a 'learning experience.' It makes me feel less stupid.

The only thing we have learnt from experience is that we learn nothing from experience.

We deem those happy who from the experience of life have learnt to bear its ills without being overcome by them.

Going out and playing football or baseball with the boys when I was a tomboy was a great way to learn about winning and losing and most girls didn't have that experience.

From their experience or from the recorded experience of others (history) men learn only what their passions and their metaphysical prejudices allow them to learn.

You have people come into your life shockingly and surprisingly. You have losses that you never thought you'd experience. You have rejection and you have learn how to deal with that and how to get up the next day and go on with it.

You learn from a conglomeration of the incredible past - whatever experience gotten in any way whatsoever.
