Experience, n.
[_]
The wisdom that enables us to recognize as an undesirable old acquaintance the folly that we have already embraced.
[To one who, journeying through night and fog]
To one who, journeying through night and fog,Is mired neck-deep in an unwholesome bog,
Experience, like the rising of the dawn,
Reveals the path that he should not have gone.
Joel Frad Bink.
