A man who carries a cat by the tail learns something he can learn in no other way.

This is one of Mark Twain's quotes that I really like. It is saying that you can have something told and explained to you, but you really wont fully understand it until you try or experience what they are attempting to explain to you. I like this quote because it is inspirational to try things instead of sitting back and watching others. The only way to really know if your going to like something is if you try it. Or, in the case of the quote, not like something.
