Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards.

About the Quote
Normally we study the lesson, take the test on it, and learn from any mistakes we make. Experience isn't that way because life isn't that way. However, in learning our lessons this way we learn the lessons better. We all make mistakes, but what we don't want to do is make the same mistakes twice.
