About this Quote

This quote by Leonardo da Vinci is a suggestion to be conscious of our expectations. Experience is an important instructor, and it can provide us with important insight and understanding. However, our judgments can lead us astray if we anticipate too much from experience. We must not anticipate experience to provide us with answers that are beyond its power. Instead, we ought to bear in mind our expectations and be open to gaining from experience. We should also know that our judgments can be wrong which we ought to not rely entirely on our own opinions. By being mindful of our expectations and available to learning from experience, we can make better choices and avoid making mistakes. Ultimately, this quote works as a suggestion to be mindful of our expectations and to be open to gaining from experience.
