The experience gathered from books, though often valuable, is but the nature of learning; whereas the experience gained from actual life is one of the nature of wisdom.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Books give not wisdom where none was before. But where some is, there reading makes it more.
Most of my life wasn't about knowledge from books, but experiential knowledge.
You can only learn so much from books. You can only learn so much from education. Ultimately, it is the wisdom of God that will carry you through in the toughest situations of life.
In such an environment, I was able to study things that could be of immediate usefulness to the world. That learning experience undoubtedly served me well when I eventually entered the work force.
Though I am fascinated by knowledge, I am even more fascinated by wisdom.
To acquire knowledge, one must study; but to acquire wisdom, one must observe.
I think everything you do in life is a learning experience.
Wisdom is knowledge which has become a part of one's being.
Experiences are savings which a miser puts aside. Wisdom is an inheritance which a wastrel cannot exhaust.
Experience is knowledge; but knowledge, when it is sought only as a material resource, is not always a blessing. Experience is wisdom; but wisdom, with those who lack vision, is not always power. Experience is tolerance; but tolerance, when it is induced by apathy, is not in the least a virtue.
