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

Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first,
the lesson afterwards.

A man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20
has wasted 30 years of his life.

it is what a man does with what happens to him.
