"A proverb is a short sentence based on long experience." ― Miguel de Cervantes Topic(s): Experience More From Miguel de Cervantes "Well, there’s a remedy for all things but death, which will be sure to lay us flat one time or other." "Tell me thy company, and I’ll tell thee what thou art." "That’s the nature of women, not to love when we love them, and to love when we love them not." More In Experience "A little reflection will show us that every belief, even the simplest and most fundamental, goes beyond experience when regarded as a guide to our actions."― William Kingdon Clifford "Some of us are interested in directors, but really the vast majority of us are interested in actors. You experience the films through the actors, so they’re all locked into your imagination in some kind of layer of fantasy or hatred or wherever they settle into your imagination."― Danny Boyle "Let us be about setting high standards for life, love, creativity, and wisdom. If our expectations in these areas are low, we are not likely to experience wellness. Setting high standards makes every day and every decade worth looking forward to."― Greg Anderson
