Wisdom comes with experience. And wisdom helps us improve. But does wisdom only come with experience? Not necessarily. Begin with an open mind and you can gain wisdom even through wise old sayings.

Lao Tzu - The journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.
William A. Ward - The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.
James Allen - The more tranquil a man becomes, the greater is his success, his influence, his power for good. Calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom.
