Practical Experience

Famous quotes containing the words practical and/or experience:

“Wisdom is not just knowing fundamental truths, if these are unconnected with the guidance of life or with a perspective on its meaning. If the deep truths physicists describe about the origin and functioning of the universe have little practical import and do not change our picture of the meaning of the universe and our place within it, then knowing them would not count as wisdom.”
—Robert Nozick (b. 1938)

“My experience has been that work is almost the best way to pull oneself out of the depths.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
