Cats and Stove Lids - Mark Twain

“We should be careful to get out of an experience only the wisdom that is in it—and stop there; lest we be like the cat that sits down on a hot stove-lid. She will never sit down on a hot stove-lid again—and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one any more.”

True!

“Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens to you.” ~ Aldous Huxley
