Çok yaşayan bilmez, çok gezen bilir.
He that travells far knows much.

Literal translation: Not he who lived long knows, but he who traveled much knows.


Meaning: Experience counts more than years

olmaz deme, olmaz olmaz. Never rule out the impossible

Quoting Roswitha:

Çok yaşayan bilmez, çok gezen bilir.
He that travells far knows much.

Literal translation: Not he who lived long knows, but he who traveled much knows.


Meaning: Experience counts more than years

"On that lives long doesn't (ever) know. One that travels much always knows."

He who has lived long doesn't know, he who has travelled much does - meaning exactly what you said Ros!
