"Experience: that most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn." ― C. S. Lewis Topic(s): Experience More From C. S. Lewis "This is one of the miracles of love: It gives a power of seeing through its own enchantments and yet not being disenchanted." "Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art… It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival." "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else." More In Experience "You can’t dodge them all. I got hammered plenty of times through the years. But you just get up and keep playing. I can tell you from experience, though. Sometimes it hurts like hell."― Terry Bradshaw "The length of your education is less important than its breadth, and the length of your life is less important than its depth."― Marilyn vos Savant "Are we still a country that takes risks, that innovates, that believes anything is possible? Or are we a country that is resigned to whatever liberty the government decides to dish out?"― Mitch McConnell
