We covet experience; we have a secret desire to learn, not from cold prohibition, but from trial, whether those things, which are not without a semblance of good, are really so ill as they are described to us.

Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation.

Given the choice between the experience of pain and nothing, I would choose pain.

The greatest thing about playing obviously is winning, and you can't replace that experience with anything.

Education is a very empowering experience, so many people who went to school also managed to improve their quality of life much faster because they could get a job, they could get money. Once people see that you improve your life if you are educated, then education becomes a valuable tool and people want it.

Memory is not an instrument for exploring the past but its theatre. It is the medium of past experience, as the ground is the medium in which dead cities lie interred.

Boredom is the dream bird that hatches the egg of experience. A rustling in the leaves drives him away.

Life is a compromise of what your ego wants to do, what experience tells you to do, and what your nerves let you do.

But Little League can be a great experience for kids, as long as they want to play--and don't play to bring their parents glory.

I'm very accepting with my age. It's like notches on your belt: experience, wisdom, and a different kind of beauty. There comes a day when you've become comfortable in your skin.

Love is the essential existential fact. It is our ultimate reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life.

Thought is Cause; experience is Effect. If you don’t like the effects in your life, you have to change the nature of your thinking.

“It is all in the way of professional experience.

“It is my belief, Watson, founded upon my experience, that the lowest and vilest alleys in London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside.”

“It appears, accordingly, from the experience of all ages and nations, I believe, that the work done by freemen comes cheaper in the end than that performed by slaves.”

“Where wages are not regulated by law, all that we can pretend to determine is, what are the most usual; and experience seems to show that law can never regulate them properly, though it has often pretended to do so.”

“it appears evidently from experience, that man is, of all sorts of luggage, the most difficult to be transported.”

“Mr. Colbert, the famous minister of Louis XIV, was a man of probity, of great industry and knowledge of detail, of great experience and acuteness in the examination of public accounts, and of abilities, in short, every way fitted for introducing method and good order into the collection and expenditure of the public revenue. That minister had unfortunately embraced all the prejudices of the mercantile system, in its nature and essence a system of restraint and regulation, and such as could scarce fail to be agreeable to a laborious and plodding man of business, who had been accustomed to regulate the different departments of public offices, and to establish the necessary checks and controls for confining each to its proper sphere. The industry and commerce of a great country he endeavoured to regulate upon the same model as the departments of a public office; and instead of allowing every man to pursue his own interest in his own way, upon the liberal plan of equality, liberty, and justice, he bestowed upon certain branches of industry extraordinary privileges, while he laid others under as extraordinary restraints.”

“Shortsighted people make [experientialism and social reform] opposites, mutually exclusive. [...] The empirical fact is that self-actualizing people, our best experiencers, are also our most compassionate, our great improvers and reformers of society, our most effective fighters against injustice, inequality, slavery, cruelty, exploitation (and also our best fighters for excellence, effectiveness, competence). And it also becomes clearer and clearer that our best 'helpers' are the most fully human persons. What I may call the bodhisattvic path is an integration of self-improvement and social zeal, i.e., the best way to become a better 'helper' is to become a better person.”

“Experiencing the bittersweet essence Reflects the revelation of God’s nature Transforming the souls of humanity!”

And God willing, with the force of God behind it, we shall soon experience a world without the United States and Zionism.
