Quote by Aldous Huxley

Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do with what happens to you.

Experience is not what happens to you. It is what you do wit

Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that experiencing events or situations is only one part of the equation. It suggests that the true value lies in how individuals choose to interpret and respond to those experiences. Simply going through life's ups and downs isn't enough; it's the ability to reflect, learn, and grow from these experiences that truly defines someone's wisdom and personal development. The quote encourages individuals to take ownership of their experiences and use them as opportunities for self-improvement and growth.

Some would deny any legitimate use of the word God because it has been misused so much. Certainly it is the most burdened of all human words. Precisely for that reason it is the most imperishable and unavoidable. And how much weight has all erroneous talk about God's nature and works (although there never has been nor can be any such talk that is not erroneous) compared with the one truth that all men who have addressed God really meant him? For whoever pronounces the word God and really means Thou, addresses, no matter what his delusion, the true Thou of his life that cannot be restricted by any other and to whom he stands in a relationship that includes all others.

Martin Buber, I and Thou, 1923
