Italian term or phrase: Il saper per esperienza è maggior certezza..........
“Il saper per esperienza è maggior certezza che il saper per ragione, né mai ragione alcuna può giungere a tanto di uguagliar l’esperienza” (Paolo Sarpi, Istoria del Concilio Tridentino)

Questa frase di cui non ho trovato la traduzione su Internet è di Paolo Sarpi (Storia del Concilio di Trento). Dovrei tradurla in inglese. Qualcuno può aiutarmi?
Grazie a tutti
