Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want. Dan Stanford

Experience is what you get when you don't get what you are expecting.  Rhb?
  Provided you are willing and able to learn from the surprise.  Rhb

Experience is a harsh teacher.  It provides the test first and then the lesson.  Kipling?

Experience is no substitute for understanding.  Rhb

Experience vs Exposure is determined by what you take away. Rhb

One can be in a job 10 years and have only 2 years of experience; provided that the 2nd year is repeated 9 times. Unknown.
To count as experience, you have to be different at the end of each year. Rhb

Without going outside, you may know the whole world.
Without looking through the window, you may see the ways of heaven.
The farther you go, the less you know.
Thus the sage knows without traveling;
He sees without looking;
He works without doing.

 Dao De Jing (Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching; as Translated by Feng & English
