"Experience comes from bad judgment...." - Quote by Mark Twain

“It is human life. We are blown upon the world; we float buoyantly upon the summer air a little while, complacently showing off our grace of form and our dainty iridescent colors; then we vanish with a little puff, leaving nothing behind but a memory - and sometimes not even that. I suppose that at those solemn times when we wake in the deeps of the night and reflect, there is not one of us who is not willing to confess that he is really only a soap-bubble, and as little worth the making.”

“No one can tell me what is a good cigar--for me. I am the only judge... There are no standards--no real standards. Each man's preference is the only standard for him, the only one which he can accept, the only one which can command him.”

“Is the human race a joke? Was it devised and patched together in a dull time when there was nothing important to do?”

“If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.”

“Truth is what stands the test of experience.”

“Good judgement is the result of experience and experience the result of bad judgement.”

“We may give advice, but not the sense to use it.”

“Those who do not know history will forever remain children”

“Even though I only have a high-school degree, I'm a professional student.”
