Experience
An old mountaineer from West Virginia was celebrated for his wisdom. "Uncle Zed," a young man asked him, "how did you get so wise?" "Weren't hard," said the old man. "I've got good judgment. Good judgment comes from experience, and experience--well, that comes from making bad judgments."
The great difficulty in education is to get experience out of ideas. (George Santayana)
"We want you (students) to come to the point where, in every phase of your life, you will be able to make a moral & responsible choice by asking, "What do I think?" rather than "What does the book say?" or "What does the professor say?" (Dr. Alfred B. Bonds, Jr.)
