"War is delightful to those who have had no experience of it." ― Desiderius Erasmus Topic(s): Experience More From Desiderius Erasmus "The nearer people approach old age the closer they return to a semblance of childhood, until the time comes for them to depart this life, again like children, neither tired of living nor aware of death." "War is sweet to those who have not experienced it." "The most disadvantageous peace is better than the most just war." More In Experience "Bitter experience has taught us how fundamental our values are and how great the mission they represent."― Jan Peter Balkenende "Experience has taught me how important it is to just keep going, focusing on running fast and relaxed. Eventually it passes and the flow returns. It’s part of racing."― Frank Shorter "I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do, provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experience behind him."― Eleanor Roosevelt
