I'm not sure if it was originally said by Dan Stanford or Randy Pausch.
I do know that good judgment comes from experience but experience often comes from bad judgment.

Read the transcript (pdf) or watch it on YouTube.
Agreed. Another great variation on that theme is Steve Jobs' commencement speech at Stanford in 2005.
Steve Jobs' commencement speech is worth watching again and again.
