My Dad told me that I didn't have to make all of life's mistakes on my own, it was OK to learn from other peoples.
This reminds of me when I was appointed to a commission of the town where I now reside. I had moved here from a considerably larger city, so to help establish what my outlook would be, right during a meeting I said, "I'm not here to tell you how we did things in the big city of __________, I'm here to keep us from making the same mistakes that were done in the big city of ______________."

Anything worth doing is worth overdoing. Sometimes it works out, sometimes you end up with a wicked hangover.

Good ones!
I heard a slightly different version of the first one:
Good judgment comes from experience.
Experience comes from bad judgment.

Feeding a rabid dog might be compassionate,
but more so it is stupid.

I think one of our recent presidents did not get that memo.
The most dangerous animal on earth is a jealous husband. I learned this by being one once. The other guy learned it, too. Enough said.
How did that one come about?
What your people accomplish defines you.
