I made decisions that I regret and I took them as learning experiences... I'm human not perfect like anybody else.

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.

Man learns through experience and the spiritual path is full of different kinds of experiences. He will encounter many difficulties and obstacles and they are the very experiences he needs to encourage and complete the cleansing process.

A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way.
