Beautiful quote. “Wisdom is the daughter of experience” — La sapienza è figlia dell’esperienza, as Leonardo might have said in his native tongue. It captures so well the Renaissance spirit: knowledge not just as theory, but born through doing, observing, experimenting. Books and intellect are vital, but it’s life itself with its trials and errors that forges true wisdom.

Ever had a moment where experience taught you something no textbook ever could?
