Experience Quotes


Experience quotes can help you find value for everything you’ve experienced in your life – the good and the bad. Experience is the school that teaches us the most. Stay away from living a ‘virtual’ life. Try new things. Taste new foods. Walk in someone else’s shoes. Experience is priceless. What experience would you most like to have? Now make up your mind that experience is doable and start taking action toward making that dream real.



You were born to greatness. Having a life mission implies that that world has need of you.

When you plant lettuce, if it does not grow well, you don’t blame the lettuce. You look for reasons it is not doing well. It may need fertilizer, or more water, or less sun. You never blame the lettuce. Yet if we have problems with our friends or family, we blame the other person. But if we know how to take care of them, they will grow well, like the lettuce. Blaming has no positive effect at all, nor does trying to persuade using reason and argument. That is my experience. No blame, no reasoning, no argument, just understanding. If you understand, and you show that you understand, you can love, and the situation will change.
Thich Nhat Hanh

Live life fully while you’re here. Experience everything. Take care of yourself and your friends. Have fun, be crazy, be weird. Go out and screw up!

Don’t try to be perfect; just be an excellent example of being human.
Anthony Robbins

Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life’s deepest joy: true fulfillment.

Whether you are aware of them or not, whether you recognize them as spiritual or not, you probably have had the experiences of silence, or transcendence, or the Divine—a few seconds, a few minutes that seem out of time; a moment when the ordinary looks beautiful, glowing; a deep sense of being at peace, feeling happy for no reason. When these experiences come…believe in them. They reflect your true nature.
Ravi Shankar

I embrace emerging experience, I participate in discovery. I am a butterfly. I am not a butterfly collector. I want the experience of the butterfly.
