“I learn more from books than from people”
“I've developed a great reputation for wisdom by ordering more books than I ever had time to read, and reading more books, by far, than I learned anything useful from, except, of course, that some very tedious gentlemen have written books.”
“I have learned more from my mistakes than from my successes.”
“I must admit, that I have learned more from my negative experiences than I have ever learned from my positive one.”
“All I have learned, I learned from books.”
“you'll learn more from falling than from being saved from falling”
