"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 on a hot stove lid again and that is well; but also she will never sit down on a cold one anymore." -Mark Twain
[SIDEBAR: I think that there's a lesson in this quote. I also think that it applies to the person giving and/or receiving wisdom in a given situation. (Sometimes we're the teacher, sometimes we're the student, and often we're both simultaneously.)]
