Is there anyone so wise as to learn by the experience of others?
While it is wise to learn from experience, it is wiser to learn from the experiences of others.
The wise learn from the experience of others, and the creative know how to make a crumb of experience go a long way.
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.
Everyone can act. Everyone can improvise. Anyone who wishes to can play in the theater and learn to become 'stage-worthy.' We learn through experience and experiencing, and no one teaches anyone anything. This is as true for the infant moving from kicking and crawling to walking as it is for the scientist with his equations. If the environment permits it, anyone can learn whatever he chooses to learn; and if the individual permits it, the environment will teach him everything it has to teach. 'Talent' or 'lack of talent' have little to do with it.
Poetry is innocent, not wise. It does not learn from experience, because each poetic experience is unique.
A prudent person profits from personal experience, a wise one from the experience of others.
Fools learn from experience. I prefer to learn from the experience of others.
They say a wise man learns from others mistakes, I learn from others success, why pay attention to the mistakes?
A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.
The secret of the wise man is to learn from the errors of others.
Humans hardly ever learn from the experience of others. They learn - when they do, which isn't often - on their own, the hard way.
The wise Christian will learn from the spiritual blunders of others.
Experience, or what we call experience, is not the inventory of our pains, but rather sympathy we learn to feel for the pain of others.
Wise men learn by others' harms, fools scarcely by their own.
Experience comes in two different flavors: your own and the experience of others. Most people can learn from their own experiences quite well, but many people simply ignore the experiences and lessons of others.
We learn from each other. We learn from others' mistakes, from their experience, their wisdom. It makes it easier for us to come to better decisions in our own lives.
