L. Frank Baum Quotes

I've become a lot wiser over the years.

Suffering is but another name for the teaching of experience, which is the parent of instruction and the schoolmaster of life.

In youth we learn; in age we understand.

As you age, you have this vast cauldron of experience to draw from. Some of the experiences are great; some of them you wish you'd never had. But all of them shape the work that you do and the person you become. It's just inevitable.

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.

Experience is what really happens to you in the long run; the truth that finally overtakes you.

At the age of 60, I am less experimental and more mature. I want most of all to convey my understanding of life.

The trouble with learning from experience is that you never graduate.

There's a beauty to wisdom and experience that cannot be faked. It's impossible to be mature without having lived.

Whether it's 18 years old or 40 years old, we think we know what's going on. But if you're lucky enough to continue the journey, its amazing how we keep learning how much we didn't know.

You learn from everything.
