| Anna Deavere Smith | Learning is a tunnel experience that makes us think more broadly. | 101 |
| Caroll Spinney | When he first started - Jim Henson, who created Bid Bird and Oscar - he said Big Bird was just a big, goofy guy. And it was - a script came along and I said, 'I think Big Bird would be much more useful to the show if he were a child learning all the things we were teaching in the show.' And so he didn't know the alphabet, even, for instance. | 101 |

| Cynthia Kenyon | I have always gotten a thrill, a kick, from learning new things. | 101 |

| Lillian Gish | A happy life is one spent in learning, earning, and yearning. | 101 |
| Lydia Leonard | Professionally, I was at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and did lots of things there, and then I won the BBC Carlton Hobbs Award, so I did some BBC Radio drama work, which is a lovely way to start out because you work with lots of great people, and you're working all the time, so you're learning rather than sitting around and waitressing. | 101 |
| Miyamoto Musashi | Study strategy over the years and achieve the spirit of the warrior. Today is victory over yourself of yesterday; tomorrow is your victory over lesser men. | 101 |
| Nalo Hopkinson | It's the thing I struggle with every day: the mental diligence and stamina needed to sit in front of the computer, open the file, start writing and to keep doing so, word after word, until I've created the next story. A combination of learning disability and chronic health issues make that the hardest thing for me. | 101 |

| James Lafferty | My advice to an aspiring actor would be to never stop learning or working for what you want. Nothing comes easy, ever, if you want something, you have to work for it. By working for it I mean work on your craft, learn from people who have something to teach. It's just like anything else, practice makes perfect. | 101 |
| Johannes Tauler | Because in the school of the Spirit man learns wisdom through humility, knowledge by forgetting, how to speak by silence, how to live by dying. | 101 |

| Luke Harding | Under the Assads, Kurds were forbidden from learning their own language at school, or even from speaking it in the military. The result is a generation of Syrian Kurds, many now in late middle age, who can't write their own language. | 101 |

| Pam Dawber | I've worked very hard at understanding myself, learning to be assertive. I'm past the point where I worry about people liking me. | 101 |
| Priscilla Ahn | And the thing about me is, I have a lot of mellow songs, because they're the easiest for me to write. I wanted to try to make some more upbeat songs, so, I ended up gravitating toward writing songs with friends, which was a great learning process, and also we came up with great songs. Those are the songs that came out the most naturally. | 101 |

And for the millions here and abroad who lack access to good, in-person education, online learning can open doors that would otherwise remain closed. | 101 |
| Don Herold | The brighter you are, the more you have to learn. | 101 |
| Jenna Ushkowitz | I speak about family and adoption because it 100% changed my life and who I am. It definitely played a very large role into just learning how to be grateful for what you have and being fulfilled in a way that a lot of adopted kids don't feel. | 101 |
| Larry Speakes | Being a press secretary is like learning to type: You're hunting and pecking for a while and then you find yourself doing the touch system and don't realize it. You're speaking for the president without ever having to go to him. | 101 |
| LaTanya Richardson | Folks are always talking about 40 acres and a mule, but what we need is some psychoanalysis. Forget 40 acres in a mule: sign all of us up for some shrinks so we can get ourselves right by reflecting and truly learning ourselves. | 101 |
| Penelope Leach | For a small child there is no division between playing and learning; between the things he or she does just for fun and things that are educational. The child learns while living and any part of living that is enjoyable is also play. | 101 |
| Sarah Wayne Callies | I'm learning to hunt with rifles, because if you think about it, hunting gets you the healthiest meat - organic, free-range food. It's a totally yuppie spin on what I thought was kind of a redneck occupation. | 101 |
| Dermot Mulroney | What people actually refer to as research nowadays is really just Googling. | 101 |
| Don Everly | Dad wouldn't let me fool with his guitar much, because I'm left-handed, and I'd pick it up upside down.

| Lloyd Bentsen | I have never forgotten my days as an Eagle Scout. I didn't know it at the time, but what really came out of my Scouting was learning how to lead and serve the community. It has come in handy in my career in government. | 101 |
| Susan Egan | You can admire people for sure, and they're worth admiring, but you need to find that special thing about yourself. It takes working hard, getting the technique, and learning to sing and all that stuff, but the master class is about bringing yourself to the role. | 101 |
| Anant Agarwal | I think we can question whether degrees are antediluvian. Online learning has flexibility. Why not master courses in energy, writing, communications, and engineering and get a credential? | 101 |
| Anne Meara | I started to respect older actors when I was young and then contemporary actors later on. Then I learned respect for comedy. When I was first doing theatre, I thought of it as just a means to become Sarah Bernhardt or someone like that. But acting with young people has been a great learning experience. | 101 |
| Carl T. Rowan | The library is the temple of learning, and learning has liberated more people than all the wars in history. | 101 |
| David B. Coe | I believe that I improve with every book I write - most writers will probably tell you the same thing. I'm still learning my craft and will be until the day I drop dead at my computer. In my opinion, art isn't something that can be perfected. There's always room for improvement. | 101 |
| Duffy | I'm only just learning what language to use when I want my microphone turned down, you know, because it's all so new to me. It can be quite difficult on a daily basis to communicate with the people I work with, so I'm just looking forward to knowing more. | 101 |
| Robin Cousins | Advise for anybody - enjoy what you are doing, enjoy the process of learning and don't be impatient. | 101 |

| Sharon Shinn | I'm fascinated by the idea of disparate, difficult people learning to trust each other when they're thrust into hellish circumstances. | 101 |
| Stephen Vizinczey | Strange as it may seem, no amount of learning can cure stupidity, and formal education positively fortifies it. | 101 |
| Aamir Khan | The journey that I have undertaken, meeting people from all walks of life and learning from them, has been my biggest achievement. | 101 |
| Anne Fadiman | For me, literature is a way of enlarging myself by learning about people who are not like me. | 101 |
| Adam Ostrow | Ultimately, I hypothesize that technology will one day be able to recreate a realistic representation of us as a result of the plethora of content we're creating converging with other advances in machine learning, robotics and large-scale data mining. | 101 |
| Carne Ross | Part of me loves to control and to exert power, but it's not the best part of me at all. What I am slowly learning is that allowing others to have power too makes us a better organisation - many brains are simply better than one. | 101 |
| John Holt | Since we can't know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned. | 101 |
| Juhi Chawla | There is an amazing power getting to know your inner self and learning how to use it and not fight with the world. If you know what makes you happy, your personality, interests and capabilities, just use them, and everything else flows beautifully. | 101 |
| Muhammadu Buhari | Boosting education will be a direct counterbalance to Boko Haram's appeal. In particular we must educate more young girls, ensuring they will grow up to be empowered through learning to play their full part as citizens of Nigeria and pull themselves up and out of poverty. | 101 |
| Robert Martin | Responsibility for learning belongs to the student, regardless of age. | 101 |
| Sonny Terry | So I went out and bought Hard Again by Muddy Waters. That was a big learning curve. I listened to that album again and again and again. James Cotton was the harmonica player on that album. | 101 |
| Jake Barton | People learn more if they're learning in directly engaging ways. | 101 |
| Mary Mouser | I love to sing. I'm learning guitar right now. | 101 |
| Mike Peters | I wouldn't change anything. I think that it's important to let things happen, and stay 'happened'. I think that's all part of the learning curve, part of fate. I'm just glad that it happened. | 101 |
| Antonia Bird | Learning to face reality, refusing refuge in cliches and lies, fighting to find a way out - that's what 'Rehab' is about. | 101 |
| Jonas Gahr Store | I think integration in Norway is, by all standards, going relatively well. People are working, taking education, learning the language. But, yes, it is a challenge. And democracy and democratic debate has to be open to take that debate openly and not push questions aside. | 101 |
| Joshua Roman | I like to read, especially nonfiction. I love learning, so I study languages, cook, learn basic HTML, and enjoy other activities that stimulate communication and the dark recesses of my musician's brain. | 101 |
| Michael Ansara | That has been one of the best, most rewarding things about being an actor - traveling throughout the world, meeting all kinds of different people and learning about other cultures. | 101 |
| Jeff Healey | Not only did I get to play with these great international musicians, but I also had the opportunity to jam with the local celebrities in Toronto, people like the Walsh Brothers, David Wilcox, Kim Mitchell and the like. It was a great learning experience. | 101 |

| Abigail Adams | Learning is not attained by chance, it must be sought for with ardor and diligence. | 102 |
| Bo Derek | It's really difficult for me. Language, I am sorry that I haven't. I think I just always expected that you learn a word in place of a word and when I discovered how difficult the grammar was and learning that was very discouraging for me. | 102 |
| Ethan Allen | In those parts of the world where learning and science has prevailed, miracles have ceased; but in those parts of it as are barbarous and ignorant, miracles are still in vogue. | 102 |
| Fred Astaire | The hardest job kids face today is learning good manners without seeing any. | 102 |
| Giada De Laurentiis | It helps immerse yourself in what you potentially want to do. Being involved, learning firsthand and observing the craft and absorbing all you can, makes it easier to define what you want. It will also ultimately make you a better Chef. Culinary school, or even a single class, is a great bet too. | 102 |
| Herb Ritts | I'd go down to the end of my street, to a garage that had a certain feeling about it, or a particular light; I'd take a picture of a friend who needed a head shot. That's how I learned, instead of having school assignments and learning camera techniques. | 102 |
| Hu Shih | After learning the language and culture of the Chinese people, these Jesuits began to establish contacts with the young intellectuals of the country. | 102 |
| Ian Dunbar | Learning from wolves to interact with pet dogs makes about as much sense as, 'I want to improve my parenting - let's see how the chimps do it!' | 102 |
| King Solomon | Start with God - the first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning. | 102 |

| Leon Trotsky | Learning carries within itself certain dangers because out of necessity one has to learn from one's enemies. | 102 |
| Luciano Pavarotti | Learning music by reading about it is like making love by mail. | 102 |
| Lucille Ball | One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself. | 102 |
| Lucretia Mott | Learning, while at school, that the charge for the education of girls was the same as that for boys, and that, when they became teachers, women received only half as much as men for their services, the injustice of this distinction was so apparent. | 102 |
| Nate Silver | By playing games you can artificially speed up your learning curve to develop the right kind of thought processes. | 102 |
| Nina Garcia | People always ask me if I could live in any other era what would it be, and I tell them none! I feel so lucky to live in an age where technology has changed and continues to change and make life so much more exciting. It keeps everyone young and constantly learning new things. | 102 |
| Oren Peli | I've always had better luck learning things on my own. And I really love the challenge of doing it yourself and kind of being alone against the system. | 102 |
| Osman Rashid | Textbooks are going to remain a key part of learning. They just need to go digital, become more interactive and they need more analytics. | 102 |
| Pablo Neruda | The books that help you most are those which make you think that most. The hardest way of learning is that of easy reading; but a great book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth and beauty. | 102 |
| Paul Lynde | Learning lines is on my mind until I do know them. I'll read the paper or paint the house to keep from starting to memorize. I've never found an easy way. | 102 |
| Paul Prudhomme | I think the most wonderful thing in the world is another chef. I'm always excited about learning new things about food. | 102 |
| Satya Nadella | Be passionate and bold. Always keep learning. You stop doing useful things if you don't learn. So the last part to me is the key, especially if you have had some initial success. It becomes even more critical that you have the learning 'bit' always switched on. | 102 |
| Sebastian Thrun | If we study learning as a data science, we can reverse engineer the human brain and tailor learning techniques to maximize the chances of student success. This is the biggest revolution that could happen in education, turning it into a data-driven science, and not such a medieval set of rumors professors tend to carry on. | 102 |
| Taylor Momsen | Generally, I like making my own mistakes and learning from them because that's what I think life is about. | 102 |
| Vernon Law | Some people are so busy learning the tricks of the trade that they never learn the trade. | 102 |
| William Pollard | Learning and innovation go hand in hand. The arrogance of success is to think that what you did yesterday will be sufficient for tomorrow. | 102 |
| Wilma Rudolph | Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday. | 102 |
| Bernard Sumner | The story of New Order is all about learning from our mistakes. | 102 |
| Fay Godwin | I hardly teach. It's more like a gathering of minds looking at one subject and learning from each other. I enjoy the process. | 102 |

| Frankie Muniz | Acting classes, I guess, are good and I would like to maybe sometime take one. But I would feel like I was learning someone else's technique. I like mine. | 102 |
| Lester Holt | What I've come to know is that in life, it's not always the questions we ask, but rather our ability to hear the answers that truly enriches our understanding. Never, never stop learning. | 102 |
| Lindsay Fox | Life isn't about algebra and geometry. Learning by making mistakes and not duplicating them is what life is about. | 102 |
| Manfred von Richthofen | I never was good at learning things. I did just enough work to pass. In my opinion it would have been wrong to do more than was just sufficient, so I worked as little as possible. | 102 |
| Martin Henderson | I'm quite proud of growing up in New Zealand where, from quite early on in primary school, you're learning to count in Maori, Maori mythology and dances and colours and history, and I think that gives a child a really good grounding. | 102 |
| Martin Rees | The extreme sophistication of modern technology - wonderful though its benefits are - is, ironically, an impediment to engaging young people with basics: with learning how things work. | 102 |
| Sam Hunt | I'm still learning a lot as a songwriter. I try to write down and make a note of ideas that I cross paths with on a day-to-day basis, whether it be a conversation or something I hear on the radio, seeing a movie, or just thoughts in my head as I'm walking down the street. | 102 |
| Sherry Turkle | The most used program in computers and education is PowerPoint. What are you learning about the nature of the medium by knowing how do to a great PowerPoint presentation? Nothing. It certainly doesn't teach you how to think critically about living in a culture of simulation. | 102 |
| Spike Jonze | Doing a documentary is about discovering, being open, learning, and following curiosity. | 102 |
| Antisthenes | The most useful piece of learning for the uses of life is to unlearn what is untrue. | 102 |
| Brian Grazer | I like learning stuff. The more information you can get about a person or a subject, the more you can pour into a potential project. I made a decision to do different things. I want to do things that have a better chance of being thought of as original. I do everything I can to disrupt my comfort zone. | 102 |
| Brian Reynolds Myers | Confucianism is all about tempering your instincts with intellectual discipline, with book learning. | 102 |
| Chuck Todd | Every election matters. Anyone that tells you otherwise doesn't understand politics. That said, not every election sends sweeping messages that are easy to discern, but every election provides lessons worth learning. | 102 |
| Dan Pallotta | We aren't upset when Paramount makes a $200 million movie that flops, but if a charity experiments with a $5 million fundraising event that fails, we call in the attorneys. So charities are petrified of trying bold new revenue-generating endeavors and can't develop the powerful learning curves the for-profit sector can. | 102 |
| Gates McFadden | Just learning to think in another language allows you to see your own culture in a better viewpoint. | 102 |
| Gerry Schwartz | In an undergraduate business environment, the best learning experience is the interaction students have with each other. They need to learn from each other as much as from professors and lectures and other teaching tools. | 102 |
| Liane Moriarty | Google is my best friend and my worst enemy. It's fabulous for research, but then it becomes addictive. I'll have a character eating an orange, and next thing I'm Googling types of oranges, I'm visiting chat rooms about oranges, I'm learning the history of the orange. | 102 |
| Lauren London | People should accept being single, because those are the moments you can really focus on yourself, and learning who you are. Then when you get in a relationship, you will be stronger and have a little bit more self-awareness, self-love, and the other ingredients for a healthy relationship. | 102 |
| Peter Beard | I'm learning that human pressure on wildlife is becoming increasingly dangerous. You've got to be more alert because more animals have been pushed around, wounded, subjected to human harassment, ambushed, all kinds of stress. When they attack, it's totally predictable. | 102 |
| Roger McGuinn | I got into computers back in the early '80s, so it was a natural progression of learning about e-mail in the mid-'80s and getting into the Internet when it opened up in the early '90s. | 102 |
| Ryan Sheckler | My life path has been a blessing and a great learning experience. Skateboarding is my passion and I don't see that changing. When I'm not skating, I love to surf. I'm open to the new experiences and opportunities. | 102 |
| Sonu Nigam | For me, learning is a continuous process and an all-inclusive one - reading a book, learning a musical instrument or learning the martial art called taekwondo. Teach myself something new - that's my prayer. | 102 |
| Stephen Chbosky | Well, I think that part of being young is not exactly knowing why you do some of the things that you do. And it's by exploring your life or experimenting or making mistakes and learning from them hopefully that you start to forge an identity. | 102 |
| William Green | I've been doing a lot of learning from mistakes, first and foremost, and building off that. | 102 |
| Alex Trebek | I think what makes 'Jeopardy!' special is that, among all the quiz and game shows out there, ours tends to encourage learning. | 102 |
| Alison Mosshart | It's fun and super exciting to see how other people work, how other people write music, and how other people put things together. To me, it's an endless learning process, and I love doing it because everybody works so completely differently. | 102 |
| Bubba Sparxxx | Deliverance is about what I went through the first time. And I chalk it up as a learning experience. | 102 |
| Chaske Spencer | I think people should look at learning about Native American history the same as visiting Washington, D.C., and seeing the monuments there. It's all part of the package. | 102 |
| Chen-Ning Yang | A graduate student who is still learning courses is not really taking a maximum advantage of a research university's offerings. He should already be finished with course-taking, as he would then be able to shape his own taste about what is a good subject for research work in the graduate school. | 102 |
| Derek Hough | For me, I like to push myself... I hate feeling complacent or that I'm not learning. | 102 |
| Dree Hemingway | I think my biggest learning experience is that it's okay to be who you are - you don't have to exactly fit the mold of what people think a certain kind of career is. I think that discovery - of really knowing who I am and being okay with that and loving myself - was amazing. | 102 |
| Ellen Hollman | 80 percent of learning is visual, so children who can't afford vision correction are at such a disadvantage. | 102 |
| George Nethercutt | Students who are interested in learning about the environment should not be dissuaded from doing so, but only if they have proved their proficiency in other basic courses, such as U.S. history. Until then, we need to focus on producing well-educated citizens steeped in their country's history and mindful of their civic responsibilities. | 102 |
| Josh Hartnett | I became popular very young. I viewed myself as just a young actor trying to figure out how to do well, and, you know, making mistakes and learning and growing. | 102 |
| Malaika Arora Khan | I guess I'm a good manager now. Moreover, I'm loving the concept of donning the producer's hat. It's all very exciting as well as a great learning experience. You're a part of a film right from its conception to its execution, and that's an amazing feeling. | 102 |
| Rocco DiSpirito | Be curious, learn and read as much as you can about food. Don't worry about making money. Focus on learning at various venues before you settle down for a steady position. | 102 |
| Tony Buzan | Learning how to learn is life's most important skill. | 102 |
| Troy Vincent | As you get older, you're always maturing, you're always learning something new about yourself. | 102 |
| Albert J. Nock | Learning has always been made much of, but forgetting has always been deprecated; therefore pedantry has pretty well established itself throughout the modern world at the expense of culture. | 102 |
| Bertrand Piccard | I'm learning kite surfing. It's a little surfboard you have on your feet with straps, and you have a big kite like a power glider in the air that pulls you. You don't need waves to move, and it makes a big spray of water as you go. | 102 |
| Cary Elwes | I'm still learning, and that's what life is about. | 102 |
| Chiaki Kuriyama | I think the biggest difficulty is that when I'm here in America, there's a necessity of using English, so I really have a great sense of really wanting to learn, but unfortunately when I head back to Japan, the necessity vanishes and so does my enthusiasm about learning. | 102 |
| Daphne Koller | Not everything that happens in an in-person classroom is currently replicated with an online course, and perhaps the experience will never be the quite the same. But there are new opportunities that online learning opens up that would have never been possible without this technology. | 102 |
| Daria Werbowy | Sailing is the closest I can get to nature - it's adrenaline, fear, a constant challenge and learning experience, an adventure into the unknown. And of course there is nothing better than wearing the same T-shirt for days and not brushing my hair for weeks. | 102 |
| Don Tapscott | Collaboration is important not just because it's a better way to learn. The spirit of collaboration is penetrating every institution and all of our lives. So learning to collaborate is part of equipping yourself for effectiveness, problem solving, innovation and life-long learning in an ever-changing networked economy. | 102 |
| Gelila Bekele | I'm learning simplicity and how to wear my body. I'm enjoying life and trying to be the best me. | 102 |
| Jamie Moyer | Learning how to work and learning how to fail is important. | 102 |
| Magnus Scheving | The worst mistake you can make with children is to talk to them in a condescending, patronising way and think that you can teach them something. You have to understand that it is you who will be learning from them. You have to get into their world and see things from their perspective. | 102 |
| Max Levchin | One of the things we did at PayPal was collaborative filtering and machine learning: looking at patterns of human behavior. We used it there to predict when people would try to cheat the system to get money. But you can predict pretty much any behavior with a certain amount of accuracy. | 102 |
| Sherry Argov | Everybody has fallen down or been disappointed in love. Where you truly shine is when you get back up. Use it as a learning experience and believe in all of the possibilities. | 102 |
| Andre Braugher | Cops and robbers resemble each other, so there's not a lot to learn in terms of learning the logistics of committing the crime or investigating the crime. | 102 |
| Anna Popplewell | Being a part of the action is just incredible. I loved doing stunt stuff. I loved learning to ride. | 102 |
| Deidre Hall | I know it may seem surprising to people, but learning dialog that has a conversational flow to it is not that difficult. | 102 |
| Michael Mosley | Flying, for some reason, has never been my favorite thing, but after taking some aviation classes and reading about it and learning about it... They've been doing this for over a hundred years, they've been to the moon and back; they kind of have a good system going here. | 102 |
| Mickey Hart | Art in the classroom not only spurs creativity, it also inspires learning. | 102 |
| Amisha Patel | Life is all about evolution. What looks like a mistake to others has been a milestone in my life. Even if people have betrayed me, even if my heart was broken, even if people misunderstood or judged me, I have learned from these incidents. We are human and we make mistakes, but learning from them is what makes the difference. | 102 |
| Diahann Carroll | You have to keep your sanity as well as know how to distance yourself from it while still holding onto the reins tightly. That is a very difficult thing to do, but I'm learning. | 102 |
| James Iha | So there was something of a learning curve with doing your own thing and people seeing you outside of the band. I mean, people have never really heard my voice before - or heard a whole record of mine before. So it was a completely new experience. | 102 |
| Michael Spence | My father once said about being a parent that it is the only thing you do that requires a very long period of learning, and at about the time that you are becoming competent, you don't need the skills anymore. Notwithstanding this modest assessment of their parenting skills, they were wonderful parents. | 102 |
| Seth Low | From you we have learned what we, at least, value, to separate Church and State; and from you we gather inspiration at all times in our devotion to learning, to religious liberty, and to individual and National freedom. | 102 |
| Jonathan Maberry | When people ask me about what I learned from martial arts, I don't talk about favorite punches or kicks, or about fights won or lost. I talk about learning self-discipline, about ethics and manners and benevolence and fairness. | 102 |
| Albert Barnes | It does not require great learning to be a Christian and be convinced of the truth of the Bible. It requires only an honest heart and a willingness to obey God. | 102 |
| Alice Koller | It takes a long time to learn that a courtroom is the last place in the world for learning the truth. | 102 |
| John Otto | I think jazz is a wonderful learning tool. | 102 |
| Julia Ormond | It was a fantastic learning experience and OK, I got slammed because I wasn't Audrey Hepburn but you could have predicted that, really, if you'd opened your eyes wide enough. | 102 |
| Jessica Clark | I'm super athletic and I love to work out, and obviously I need to workout for my industry as well, but I love learning something and developing that skill and feeling strong. Girls who can kick butt are hot. | 102 |
| Benjamin Disraeli | Seeing much, suffering much, and studying much, are the three pillars of learning. | 103 |
| Colin Powell | There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. | 103 |
| Jack Welch | An organization's ability to learn, and translate that learning into action rapidly, is the ultimate competitive advantage. | 103 |
| Jonathan Swift | Words are but wind; and learning is nothing but words; ergo, learning is nothing but wind. | 103 |
| Ashley Montagu | One goes through school, college, medical school and one's internship learning little or nothing about goodness but a good deal about success. | 103 |
| Cassandra Clare | There are so many stories about boys becoming heroes, learning their powers and becoming incredibly heroic. There have to be those stories for girls, too. | 103 |
| Common | I come from playing sports. I compete, so I gotta be better than I was last year. I gotta get better, and that better gotta come from just growing. From learning new stuff to working on it, experience it in life, and failing. | 103 |
| Dianne Feinstein | 'No Child Left Behind' requires states and school districts to ensure that all students are learning and are reaching their highest potential. Special education students should not be left out of these accountability mechanisms. | 103 |
| Ed Asner | Never stand still. Only stand still enough to learn, and once you stop learning in that stance, move off. Always keep yourself engaged, in theater, in whatever job you can get. If you can't get an acting job, then go backstage. Or take tickets. But be around actors because that is where you will primarily learn. | 103 |
| Elisabeth Kubler-Ross | Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes, no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from. | 103 |
| Ginni Rometty | Today when I think about diversity, I actually think about the word 'inclusion.' And I think this is a time of great inclusion. It's not men, it's not women alone. Whether it's geographic, it's approach, it's your style, it's your way of learning, the way you want to contribute, it's your age - it is really broad. | 103 |
| Glenda Jackson | Acting is not about dressing up. Acting is about stripping bare. The whole essence of learning lines is to forget them so you can make them sound like you thought of them that instant. | 103 |
| Josh Billings | Wisdom has never made a bigot, but learning has. | 103 |
| Kim Cattrall | A pilot is like the most extensive dress rehearsal you can ever imagine, because the writers are learning about the actors, the actors are learning about the characters. | 103 |
| Kwame Nkrumah | The best way of learning to be an independent sovereign state is to be an independent sovereign state. | 103 |
| Laura Bush | A love of books, of holding a book, turning its pages, looking at its pictures, and living its fascinating stories goes hand-in-hand with a love of learning. | 103 |
| Linda Ronstadt | In the United States, we spend millions of dollars on sports because it promotes teamwork, discipline, and the experience of learning to make great progress in small increments. Learning to play music does all this and more. | 103 |
| Lynn Davies | There are hurdles to overcome in sport and in life. Sport is a very valuable learning ground for how to live your life in the best possible way. | 103 |
| Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach | In youth we learn; in age we understand. | 103 |
| Patricia Polacco | I didn't learn to read until I was almost 14 years old. Reading out loud for me was a nightmare because I would mispronounce words or reconstruct things that weren't even there. That's when one of my teachers discovered I had a learning disability called dyslexia. Once I got help, I read very well! | 103 |
| Q'orianka Kilcher | I used to have all these plans and think 'Ah, I have my whole life figured out', but then I realized no matter how much I plan: life happens! So I find myself living day to day trying to do my best, embracing every moment as a learning opportunity and chance to get to know myself a little more. | 103 |
| Ringo Starr | I feel the older I get, the more I'm learning to handle life. Being on this quest for a long time, it's all about finding yourself. | 103 |
| Rose Kennedy | Neither comprehension nor learning can take place in an atmosphere of anxiety. | 103 |
| Theo James | In Britain, you do your job. When you do an American TV show, there is a sense of being one with the crew, and there is a leadership element, which was a learning curve for me because it is very different culturally. In Britain, you just do it, leave and say, 'Thanks.' | 103 |
| Viswanathan Anand | There are some aspects of work you need to keep working on and no matter what environment you are in. Continuous learning is very important. It's what I call 'competitive tension', which is about having a competition around. | 103 |
| William Allen White | A little learning is not a dangerous thing to one who does not mistake it for a great deal. | 103 |
| William Pollard | Information is a source of learning. But unless it is organized, processed, and available to the right people in a format for decision making, it is a burden, not a benefit. | 103 |
| Wole Soyinka | And I believe that the best learning process of any kind of craft is just to look at the work of others. | 103 |
| Bernard Sumner | I like a challenge. I like learning new skills because I didn't learn much at school. | 103 |
| Esperanza Spalding | I think there's so much negative influence on children in school settings. It becomes learning by rote to pass a test. It's not contextualized. | 103 |
| Jack Hanna | The world is the true classroom. The most rewarding and important type of learning is through experience, seeing something with our own eyes. | 103 |
| John Gray | The process of learning requires not only hearing and applying but also forgetting and then remembering again. | 103 |
| John McEnroe | The important thing is to learn a lesson every time you lose. Life is a learning process and you have to try to learn what's best for you. Let me tell you, life is not fun when you're banging your head against a brick wall all the time. | 103 |
| Lisa Loeb | Also, I'm always learning better and better how to prioritize and how to leave certain things for the next day. | 103 |
| Mike Nichols | You can always tell gifted and highly intelligent people as they always turn to the past. Any young person who knows anything that happened before 1980, or 1990, or 2000 for that matter, is immediately someone who is intelligent, probably creative, maybe a writer. Nobody who is drawn to the past and learning about the past is not gifted. | 103 |
| Robyn Davidson | The French word for wanderlust or wandering is 'errance.' The etymology is the same as 'error.' So to wander is to make mistakes. In other words, to make mistakes, to make errors is sort of the idea of learning through trial and error, allowing the mistakes to be part of the process. | 103 |
| Willard Wigan | When I was a kid, I had trouble at school because of my learning disabilities. Carving is my body compensating for the lack of other skills. | 103 |
| Antisthenes | Not to unlearn what you have learned is the most necessary kind of learning. | 103 |
| Arthur Koestler | Creative activity could be described as a type of learning process where teacher and pupil are located in the same individual. | 103 |
| Bob Geldof | But if somebody dies, if something happens to you, there is a normal process of depression, it is part of being human, and some people view it as a learning experience etc. | 103 |
| David Hallberg | When I went to Moscow, I felt I was relearning Swan Lake - which was written for the Bolshoi - and being immersed in a tradition and history I had never experienced. It took a while to adjust to living there and learning the language, but now I have lots of friends. I get the best of two completely different worlds. | 103 |
| Gregory Stock | As we decipher our biology and learn to modify and adjust it, we are learning to modify ourselves - and we will do so. No laws will stop this. | 103 |
| Heidi Hayes Jacobs | We often assume that all teachers within a discipline address the same curriculum. This isn't always the case. We frequently find gaps between goals and what is actually taught, and these gaps can have a lasting impact on a child's learning. | 103 |
| Helen Frankenthaler | Whatever the medium, there is the difficulty, challenge, fascination and often productive clumsiness of learning a new method: the wonderful puzzles and problems of translating with new materials. | 103 |
| Jane Siberry | I brought a Border Collie back home to Vancouver from Wales - where some of my ancestors are from - and needed to challenge him in other ways than just being my pet. So I investigated sheep herding and took a few lessons, and decided I was probably learning more than my dog! | 103 |
| Joy Page | People desire to separate their worlds into polarities of dark and light, ugly and beautiful, good and evil, right and wrong, inside and outside. Polarities serve us in our learning and growth, but as souls we are all. | 103 |
| Kate del Castillo | In terms of relationships, I've had two failures, although I don't like to call them failures; they are self learning, and I cannot say I regret any of my relationships. I've always said that I am a much loved woman. | 103 |
| Ken Marino | To go from working with a group of people in a sketch-comedy show on a small network, where it was all about just creating funny stuff, to being on a network show, and the pressures of that, and getting to know the new people who were involved in it. There was a learning curve for me. But it was an education. | 103 |
| Mark E. Smith | My earliest memory is learning to read 'Muffin the Mule' when I was about three. | 103 |
| Nelson Goodman | Coming to understand a painting or a symphony in an unfamiliar style, to recognize the work of an artist or school, to see or hear in new ways, is as cognitive an achievement as learning to read or write or add. | 103 |
| Scott Weiss | Your happiness is at the intersection of your passions and learning from great people. | 103 |
| Solon | I grow old learning something new every day. | 103 |
| Ben Parr | Building a successful company (or living a happy life, for that matter) is not about embracing someone else's philosophy, but staying true to your own beliefs about the world and learning from the mistakes you make along the way. | 103 |
| Brian Kernighan | Every language teaches you something, so learning a language is never wasted, especially if it's different in more than just syntactic trivia. | 103 |
| Carl Levin | If we have a chance of succeeding and bringing stability and democracy to Iraq, it will mean learning from our mistakes, not denying them and not ignoring them. | 103 |
| Chris Gabrieli | Indeed, while so much in education reform can divide activists into warring camps, expanding learning time unites reformers around a shared vision of bringing excellence and breadth to our nation's most impoverished and struggling schools. | 103 |
| David Selby | I was delighted to have lines when they came - learning lines for film isn't a problem, but television is a little different, because we shot those shows the whole way through. | 103 |
| Jess Walter | I doubt the terrorists saw 9/11 as a teaching opportunity. And we're not really a culture geared to anything as humble as 'learning.' But I was disappointed in how quickly everyone wanted to get back to normal. It was as if we watched terrorism on TV for a while, then got bored and turned back to 'American Idol.' | 103 |
| Jim Rash | Writing sketches, you're also learning about a journey and characters, and you translate that to bigger things. | 103 |
| Lakshmi Mittal | This is a learning in the business life that first of all you need to have commitment, dedication and passion for what you are doing. | 103 |
| Sly Stone | It's not the teaching, it's the learning. | 103 |
| Tarja Halonen | The Finland of the 21st century can thrive only if women of learning - in common with their male counterparts - are guaranteed the opportunity to use their creative potential to the full. | 103 |
| Benjamin Hoff | But the basic Taoism that we are concerned with here is simply a particular way of appreciating, learning from, and working with whatever happens in everyday life. | 103 |
| Bobby Davro | When I was at my height on TV, I was always busy - rehearsing, practising my impressions, learning new material. When that faded, I had to find another way to be creative. Houses were something to do instead. They saved me. | 103 |
| David Liss | In the past, people generally believed they could acquire magic in two ways: through learning the craft, either from another practitioner or from books; or through obtaining magic from a powerful being-think Faust or the classic, demonized witch, both of whom get their mojo from Satan. | 103 |
| John Milius | Also, they don't understand - writing is language. The use of language. The language to create image, the language to create drama. It requires a skill of learning how to use language. | 103 |
| Mark Kennedy | This enemy of peace in the world today is unlike any we have seen in the past, and our military is learning from, and building on, previous successes while carrying peace and freedom into the future. | 103 |
| Siobhan Davies | Yes - it's the same in any other work - the more you massage your thinking the more capable I believe you are of expanding how you go about things and learning. | 103 |
| Dichen Lachman | As a person, when I was seven or eight, my dad would try very hard to tutor me through school because I had learning difficulties or whatever. I would wish that they could just plant a chip in my brain so that I would know everything and not have to study. | 103 |
| James Blake | I think when you're learning an instrument, you are restricted because much of it is the noise of individual theory and your ability to play the instrument. | 103 |
| Jeff Ament | Punk rock and skateboarding took the 'school' out of living your life, and I related to learning as I went, doing a lot of different things that I liked, when I liked. Consequently, I'm mediocre at all of the above, but still stoked on being a lifetime student of music, skating, painting, writing, etc. | 103 |
| Julia Louis-Dreyfus | The Seinfeld motto: No learning, no hugging. | 103 |
| Mick Cornett | I'm learning a lot about the culture of weight loss. I didn't know there were bloggers out there who were proud to be fat. | 103 |
| Roger Ascham | Let the master praise him, and say, 'Here ye do well.' For, I assure you, there is no such whetstone to sharpen a good wit, and encourage a will to learning, as is praise. | 103 |
| Anant Agarwal | The online credential, the online certificate is very different from an on campus certificate. And we really believe that online learning and the EdX platform and the EdX portal, these are ways in which - you can think of them as a rising tide that's going to lift all boats whether for students worldwide or on our campuses. | 103 |
| Cindy Busby | I'd definitely like to study other things and keep on learning all the time, but I wouldn't want to do anything else. Ultimately, acting is my craft. I've always been interested in psychology and nutrition, but I don't know that I'd go and make that my profession. | 103 |
| Jane Greer | Emotions often must be portrayed from an inner feeling, of course, but I had a double advantage because I was learning to direct my as-yet expressionless feelings as well as gaining an ability to express emotion by a very conscious manipulation of my muscles. | 103 |
| Mike Vogel | On paper, actors are the dumbest group of individuals essentially out there. Most of us have not gone to college. However, we never stop learning. Because of what we do, we're constantly researching, constantly learning. | 103 |
| Andy Andrews | I am a teacher and the reason I'm a teacher is because I'm learning as hard as I can. I'm not any different from anybody else. I am searching and having some success finding answers. | 103 |
| Anthony de Mello | These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle, progress without compassion, wealth without work, learning without silence, religion without fearlessness and worship without awareness. | 103 |
| Mick Mars | I'm thinking about learning a few new things - like taking classical guitar lessons - and I'd like to bring what I learn into hard rock. | 103 |
| Mike Watt | Imitation is being rewarded. They're learning that if you fit right in the mold, you get rewarded. Music is no longer a form of expression - it's a means to a lifestyle. | 103 |
| Jeremy Collier | Learning gives us a fuller conviction of the imperfections of our nature; which one would think, might dispose us to modesty. | 103 |
| Joshua Waitzkin | One of the main focuses of my training sessions is to help individuals find their unique voices in the learning process. We all have our strengths, our weaknesses, our styles of learning, our personalities. Developing introspective sensitivity to these issues is critical to long-term success. | 103 |
| Justin Chatwin | I just want to do shows because you get to see, over all the seasons, the person grow, and you get to grow with the character. That transformation, for me, is what I love about my job. I get to learn about myself and challenge myself and grow with the character. For me, it's a whole process of learning and growing. | 103 |
| Jane Harrison | Marriage, for a woman at least, hampers the two things that made life to me glorious - friendship and learning. | 103 |
| John F. Kennedy | Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other. | 104 |
| Bruce Lee | A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer. | 104 |
| Douglas Adams | Flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. | 104 |
| Galileo Galilei | I have never met a man so ignorant that I couldn't learn something from him. | 104 |
| Lou Holtz | I never learn anything talking. I only learn things when I ask questions. | 104 |
| Richard Branson | So I've seen life as one long learning process. And if I see - you know, if I fly on somebody else's airline and find the experience is not a pleasant one, which it wasn't in - 21 years ago, then I'd think, well, you know, maybe I can create the kind of airline that I'd like to fly on. | 104 |
| Margaret Mead | I learned the value of hard work by working hard. | 104 |
| Michelangelo | I am still learning. | 104 |
| Mike Tyson | God lets everything happen for a reason. It's all a learning process, and you have to go from one level to another. | 104 |
| Channing Tatum | I was not good in school. I could never read very fast or very well. I got tested for learning disabilities, for dyslexia. Then I got put on Ritalin and Dexedrine. I took those starting in the eighth grade. As soon as they pumped that drug into me, it would focus me right in. | 104 |
| Elisabeth Kubler-Ross | The ultimate lesson all of us have to learn is unconditional love, which includes not only others but ourselves as well. | 104 |
| Ellsworth Huntington | We are learning, too, that the love of beauty is one of Nature's greatest healers. | 104 |
| Felicity Jones | I'm interested in all forms of performance, yet I think it's difficult to be as equally talented in all of them as they call for such different skills. At the moment, I still feel I'm learning and want as much experience and variety as possible. | 104 |
| Gisele Bundchen | When you come from a big family, you see that, growing up, you're learning how to share. Your sisters have got your back; you're not alone in this - 'We all support you!' Your family provides that; it gives you a sense of safety, and it's a very grounding feeling. | 104 |
| Jack Nicholson | The minute that you're not learning I believe you're dead. | 104 |
| Michael Gove | Learning a foreign language, and the culture that goes with it, is one of the most useful things we can do to broaden the empathy and imaginative sympathy and cultural outlook of children. | 104 |
| Neil Postman | School has never really been about individualized learning, but about how to be socialized as a citizen and as a human being, so that we, we have important rules in school, always emphasizing the fact that one is part of a group. | 104 |
| Patty Murray | Good education means learning to read, write and most importantly learn how to learn so that you can be whatever you want to be when you grow up. | 104 |
| Paul Wellstone | I saw as a teacher how, if you take that spark of learning that those children have, and you ignite it, you can take a child from any background to a lifetime of creativity and accomplishment. | 104 |
| Seamus Heaney | I'm a firm believer in learning by heart. | 104 |
| Ze Frank | I studied neuroscience at the cellular level, so I was looking at learning and memory in the visual cortex of rats. Neuroscience mainly exposed me to a way of thinking - about experimentation, about what you believe to be true and how you could prove it - and how to approach things in a methodical manner. | 104 |
| Alan Kay | There is the desire of a consumer society to have no learning curves. This tends to result in very dumbed-down products that are easy to get started on, but are generally worthless and/or debilitating. | 104 |
| Chet Faker | Learning to appreciate those things that aren't related to success has proved the biggest lesson. | 104 |
| Claire Tomalin | I enjoyed the whole process of learning and was always happy when autumn came and school or college started up again. | 104 |
| Claude Bernard | It is what we know already that often prevents us from learning. | 104 |
| Daniel Tammet | I consider social skills a bit like learning a language. I've been practising it for so long over so many years I've almost lost my accent. | 104 |
| Dweezil Zappa | For me, the most difficult thing is that I am learning melodies on guitar from some songs whose melodies were not meant to be played on guitar. Ever. They were intended mostly for keyboards or melodic percussion. | 104 |
| Ellen Pompeo | Learning about the way people process information and their emotions is hugely helpful to my work. | 104 |
| Fred Frith | It's like learning a language; you can't speak a language fluently until you find out who you are in that language, and that has as much to do with your body as it does with vocabulary and grammar. | 104 |
| Gore Verbinski | I think my parents gave me a love of learning; from there you set out on your own path. | 104 |
| Joseph P. Kennedy | I've had a tough time learning how to act like a congressman. Today I accidentally spent some of my own money. | 104 |
| Lee Westwood | People mature at different stages and I feel I'm learning a lot. | 104 |
| Max de Pree | The signs of outstanding leadership appear primarily among the followers. Are the followers reaching their potential? Are they learning? Serving? Do they achieve the required results? Do they change with grace? Manage conflict? | 104 |
| Maya Lin | You should be having more fun in high school, exploring things because you want to explore them and learning because you love learning-not worrying about competition. | 104 |
| Ruud Gullit | You only stop learning when you quit. | 104 |
| Warren Ellis | Learning to write comics is, in fact, so bloody difficult because it's such a weird form that it does actually make you a bit more adaptable for other forms. | 104 |
| William Allingham | Writing is learning to say nothing, more cleverly each day. | 104 |
| Billy Campbell | Most sailing ships take what they call trainees, who pay to be part of the crew. The Picton Castle takes people who are absolutely raw recruits. But you can't just ride along. You're learning to steer the ship, navigation; you're pulling lines, keeping a lookout; in the galley you're cooking. | 104 |
| Burt Ward | I make personal appearances around the country. I'm starting a book tour now, and I may be coming to Toronto with the Learning Annex, which I'm doing all through the United States, so that may come up just before Christmas. | 104 |
| Christopher Eccleston | Often as a child you see someone with a learning disability or Down's Syndrome and my mum and dad were always very quick to explain exactly what was going on and to be in their own way inclusive and welcoming. | 104 |
| Cynthia Weil | You made a lot of mistakes, and you wrote a lot of crap. But it was all part of the learning process. | 104 |
| Emily Carr | I sat staring, staring, staring - half lost, learning a new language or rather the same language in a different dialect. So still were the big woods where I sat, sound might not yet have been born. | 104 |
| Eric Cantor | We believe that if you put in place the mechanisms that allow for personal choice as far as Medicare is concerned, as well as the programs in Medicaid, that we can actually get to a better result and do what most Americans are learning how to do, which is to do more with less. | 104 |
| James Nesbitt | In my life, I have made the occasional catastrophic choice, and it's just a case of moving on and learning from it. | 104 |
| Kris Gopalakrishnan | Nobody programmes the brain, yet it keeps learning. India shouldn't miss the emerging age of brain-inspired computing. | 104 |
| Maria Mitchell | The world of learning is so broad, and the human soul is so limited in power! | 104 |
| Menachem Begin | The ancient Jewish people gave the world the vision of eternal peace, of universal disarmament, of abolishing the teaching and learning of war. | 104 |
| Pauline Phillips | True, a little learning is a dangerous thing, but it still beats total ignorance. | 104 |
| Ricardo Semler | One of the things that is very silly - and I hear from educators all the time - is that schools essentially teach kids to learn. They don't need school for that. Learning is what they do best. | 104 |
| Rick Rubin | It's a big theme in my life, learning about myself and being a better person. I'm a work in progress; I have revelations every day. | 104 |
| Ritchie Blackmore | Learning to play with a big amplifier is like trying to control an elephant. | 104 |
| Solon | Rich people without wisdom and learning are but sheep with golden fleeces. | 104 |
| Tim Holden | Since its founding in 1854, Penn State has proven to be a leading institution of higher learning. | 104 |
| Tracy Kidder | The hardest thing was learning to write. I was 13, and the only writing I had done was for Social Studies. It consisted of copying passages right out of the encyclopedia. | 104 |
| Alan Perlis | It goes against the grain of modern education to teach students to program. What fun is there to making plans, acquiring discipline, organizing thoughts, devoting attention to detail, and learning to be self critical. | 104 |
| Alex Trebek | Learning something new is fun. | 104 |
| Daniel Greenberg | But, if you observe children learning in their first few years of life, you can see that they can and do learn on their own - we leave them alone to crawl, walk, talk, and gain control over their bodies. It happens without much help from parents. | 104 |
| Patty Berg | Always keep learning. It keeps you young. | 104 |
| Sheldon Whitehouse | When counting on learning from innovation, there are great successes but also failures. The Wright Brothers invented the aircraft and started an amazing process of innovation, where we now have planes that carry 500 passengers. Along the way there were some silly looking vehicles that crashed early on. | 104 |
| Tony Buzan | Many think of memory as rote learning, a linear stuffing of the brain with facts, where understanding is irrelevant. When you teach it properly, with imagination and association, understanding becomes a part of it. | 104 |
| Doc Watson | I'd think learning to play the guitar would be very confusing for sighted people. | 104 |
| Margaret Lee Runbeck | Learning is always rebellion... Every bit of new truth discovered is revolutionary to what was believed before. | 104 |
| Roy Romer | Productivity is going to be a critical issue. And it's not just about getting more time for professors in the classroom. It involves reexamining the learning experience and restructuring faculty and the use of faculty time. | 104 |
| Ted Engstrom | We must expect to fail... but fail in a learning posture, determined no to repeat the mistakes, and to maximize the benefits from what is learned in the process. | 104 |
| Conrad Burns | I come from Montana, and in eastern Montana we have a lot of dirt between light bulbs. It is expensive trying to bring the new technologies to smaller schools to upgrade their technologies to take advantage of distance learning. | 104 |
| Jason Sudeikis | Each experience I go through - marriage, my public life, my personal life - I'm learning as I go. | 104 |
| Marvin Minsky | We wanted to solve robot problems and needed some vision, action, reasoning, planning, and so forth. We even used some structural learning, such as was being explored by Patrick Winston. | 104 |
| Johnny Winter | I started playing ukulele first for 2 years from age 9 to 11 and got my first guitar and got inspired by blues I heard on the radio that turned me on and I started learning myself. | 104 |
| Moises Arias | When I was a kid it was much more difficult. You're trying to understand what the director wants. It's a learning process. Now, you go in and it's more of a collaboration. | 104 |
| John Jay Chapman | Benevolence alone will not make a teacher, nor will learning alone do it. The gift of teaching is a peculiar talent, and implies a need and a craving in the teacher himself. | 104 |
| Joshua Waitzkin | The truth is that throughout my careers in both chess and the martial arts, I often knew that my rivals were more naturally gifted than me - either with their mental machines or their bodies. But I have believed in my training, my approach to learning, and my ability to rise to the challenge under pressure. | 104 |
| Jhene Aiko | As I got older, I really got into Tupac's poetry, his books and just learning about his life and what he was into. | 104 |
| John Hope Franklin | We also learn that this country and the Western world have no monopoly of goodness and truth and scholarship, we begin to appreciate the ingredients that are indispensable to making a better world. In a life of learning that is, perhaps, the greatest lesson of all. | 104 |
| Maya Angelou | I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel. | 105 |
| Henry Wadsworth Longfellow | The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, And all the sweet serenity of books. | 105 |
| Benjamin Spock | All the time a person is a child he is both a child and learning to be a parent. After he becomes a parent he becomes predominantly a parent reliving childhood. | 105 |
| Doris Lessing | In university they don't tell you that the greater part of the law is learning to tolerate fools. | 105 |
| Fred DeLuca | After 39 years of business, I'm still learning. I go through this every year -identifying new strategies that are extremely important. | 105 |
| Gail Sheehy | The delights of self-discovery are always available. | 105 |
| Howard Gardner | The countries who do the best in international comparisons, whether it's Finland or Japan, Denmark or Singapore, do well because they have professional teachers who are respected, and they also have family and community which support learning. | 105 |
| Karlie Kloss | You have to grow thick skin and that only comes with time and learning. | 105 |
| M. Scott Peck | The great awareness comes slowly, piece by piece. The path of spiritual growth is a path of lifelong learning. The experience of spiritual power is basically a joyful one. | 105 |
| Malcolm Gladwell | There is this tremendous body of knowledge in the world of academia where extraordinary numbers of incredibly thoughtful people have taken the time to examine on a really profound level the way we live our lives and who we are and where we've been. That brilliant learning sometimes gets trapped in academia and never sees the light of day. | 105 |
| Natalie Portman | I don't love studying. I hate studying. I like learning. Learning is beautiful. | 105 |
| Russell Wilson | I think to be a great quarterback, you have to have a great leadership, great attention to detail, and a relentless competitive nature. And that's what I try to bring to the table, and I have a long way to go. I'm still learning, and I'm still on a constant quest for knowledge. | 105 |
| Stephen Jay Gould | Contrary to current cynicism about past golden ages, the abstraction known as 'the intelligent layperson' does exist - in the form of millions of folks with a passionate commitment to continuous learning. | 105 |
| Willie Nelson | Freedom is control in your own life. I have more control now than in the past, and I'm learning the value of saying no. That's very important. | 105 |
| Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart | I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness. | 105 |
| Archibald MacLeish | There is only one thing more painful than learning from experience and that is not learning from experience. | 105 |
| Bill Rancic | Each time you go to the grocery store with your kids, it is a potential learning opportunity. In order not to overemphasize materialism, focus on other things to do with money. In 'Beyond the Lemonade Stand,' I try to emphasize the importance of saving money, and of using it to help other people. | 105 |
| Christopher Meloni | I had no expectations about fatherhood, really, but it's definitely a journey I'm glad to be taking. Number one, it's a great learning experience. When my mother told me it's a 24/7 job, she wasn't kidding. | 105 |
| Daniel Defoe | I have often thought of it as one of the most barbarous customs in the world, considering us as a civilized and a Christian country, that we deny the advantages of learning to women. | 105 |
| Doug Larson | A weed is a plant that has mastered every survival skill except for learning how to grow in rows. | 105 |
| Drew Gilpin Faust | I lived in a world where social arrangements were taken for granted and assumed to be timeless. A child's obligation was to learn these usages, not to question them. The complexities of racial deportment were of a piece with learning manners and etiquette more generally. | 105 |
| Jane McGonigal | Surveys of thousands of gamers have shown that they're more likely to play real music if they play a music videogame. So it's an interesting relationship where the games aren't replacing something we do in real life, they're serving as a springboard to a goal we might have in real life, like learning to play an instrument. | 105 |
| Lloyd Alexander | We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself. | 105 |
| Edward Furlong | I look up to actors. I look up to Robert DeNiro, I look up to Johnny Depp, I look up to Al Pacino, I look up to run-of-the-mill really good actors. I love watching movies, and I love watching other actors and learning from them. | 105 |
| Jason Alexander | I can get motivated seeing a kid at my son's school overcome a learning disability. | 105 |
| Mark Ronson | Sometimes I have to shut off the omnipresent disco ball and flashing lights that are always in my head. It's a part of maturing, I guess - just learning that it's not just always about a quick, easy fix of getting people to dance. | 105 |
| Ramez Naam | Neural implants could accomplish things no external interface could: Virtual and augmented reality with all five senses; augmentation of human memory, attention, and learning speed; even multi-sense telepathy - sharing what we see, hear, touch, and even perhaps what we think and feel with others. | 105 |
| Anna Neagle | But if we learn to think of it as anticipation, as learning, as growing, if we think of the time we spend waiting for the big things of life as an opportunity instead of a passing of time, what wonderful horizons open out! | 105 |
| George Kaiser | Truly, learning appears to be a reverse geometric progression with experiences at one hour, one day, one month or one year dramatically more influential and formative than later experiences. As has often been quoted, 85% of brain development takes place by age 3, and yet we spend only 4% of our educational dollars by that point. | 105 |
| Jessica Chastain | Before, it was just about making the films - and now it's releasing them. Which is a steep learning curve. | 105 |
| Ken Goldberg | Our robots are signing up for online learning. After decades of attempts to program robots to perform complex tasks like flying helicopters or surgical suturing, the new approach is based on observing and recording the motions of human experts as they perform these feats. | 105 |
| Albert J. Nock | Diligent as one must be in learning, one must be as diligent in forgetting; otherwise the process is one of pedantry, not culture. | 105 |
| David James Elliott | Maybe our young people are not as vacuous as we would like to lead ourselves to believe - that all they're interested in is hairdos and looking at other beautiful people. Maybe they're interested in learning something. | 105 |
| Ruben Santiago-Hudson | I'm an infant with Shakespeare; I'm kind of learning how to walk. I am trying to decipher the code, you know? I do my research. And I get a clear understanding of what the language is. It is a tremendous process I have to go through as I am sure all actors do, finding the gems hidden in his language. | 105 |
| Maggie Grace | I used to be really insecure about my self-education. I'm definitely always learning. But there's many ways to learn. There are many, many ways to always be a learner. | 105 |
| Manish Dayal | One really interesting thing for me was learning about kitchen etiquette, and the differences between an Indian kitchen and a French one. They're different in atmosphere, and also in how chefs maneuver within them. | 105 |
| Michael Gurian | If we want boys to succeed, we need to bring them back to education by making education relevant to them and bring in more service learning and vocational education. | 105 |
| Roger Ascham | In mine opinion, love is fitter than fear, gentleness better than beating, to bring up a child rightly in learning. | 105 |
| Anant Agarwal | There is a huge value in learning with instant feedback. | 105 |
| James Redfield | One of the things I think we're learning to do as the twelfth insight emerges is to be discerning without being judgmental, because condemning someone certainly feels like a comic event that brings other things back on you. | 105 |
| Mahatma Gandhi | Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever. | 106 |
| Henry Wadsworth Longfellow | A single conversation across the table with a wise man is better than ten years mere study of books. | 106 |
| Pablo Picasso | I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it. | 106 |
| Paulo Coelho | You're always learning. The problem is, sometimes you stop and think you understand the world. This is not correct. The world is always moving. You never reach the point you can stop making an effort. | 106 |
| Lewis Carroll | While the laughter of joy is in full harmony with our deeper life, the laughter of amusement should be kept apart from it. The danger is too great of thus learning to look at solemn things in a spirit of mockery, and to seek in them opportunities for exercising wit. | 106 |
| Mark Zuckerberg | In terms of doing work and in terms of learning and evolving as a person, you just grow more when you get more people's perspectives... I really try and live the mission of the company and... keep everything else in my life extremely simple. | 106 |
| Bonnie Raitt | Especially girls, but any kids exposed to music programs and arts programs do much better on their tests. They have a better chance of going to college. They can focus better. You know, we're not just automatons learning how to work machines and do engineering and math and science. All of that's great, but you've got to build a whole person. | 106 |
| Brendon Burchard | The top experts in the world are ardent students. The day you stop learning, you're definitely not an expert. | 106 |
| Chesley Sullenberger | My message going forward is that I want to remind everyone in the aviation industry - especially those who manage aviation companies and those who regulate aviation - that we owe it to our passengers to keep learning how to do it better. | 106 |
| Christopher Morley | There are three ingredients in the good life: learning, earning and yearning. | 106 |
| Drew Carey | There's no way I can justify my salary level, but I'm learning to live with it. | 106 |
| Earl Nightingale | Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Don't wait for something outside of yourself to make you happy in the future. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, whether it's at work or with your family. Every minute should be enjoyed and savored. | 106 |
| Elisabeth Kubler-Ross | Learning lessons is a little like reaching maturity. You're not suddenly more happy, wealthy, or powerful, but you understand the world around you better, and you're at peace with yourself. Learning life's lessons is not about making your life perfect, but about seeing life as it was meant to be. | 106 |
| Ellsworth Huntington | Year by year we are learning that in this restless, strenuous American life of ours vacations are essential. | 106 |
| Ernie Els | Something I've really enjoyed learning more about is course design. | 106 |
| Herb Ritts | Even though I didn't get a business degree, I enjoyed learning about economics. | 106 |
| Ian Dunbar | Training a dog, to me, is on a par with learning to dance with my wife or teaching my son to ski. These are fun things we do together. If anyone even talks about dominating the dog or hurting him or fighting him or punishing him, don't go there. | 106 |
| John Lasseter | 'Cars' was about Lightning McQueen learning to slow down and to enjoy life. The journey is the reward. | 106 |
| Kapil Dev | As I enter a new phase of life and my circle broadens, I start learning new things. | 106 |
| Karen Armstrong | We have domesticated God's transcendence. We often learn about God at about the same time as we are learning about Santa Claus; but our ideas about Santa Claus change, mature and become more nuanced, whereas our ideas of God can remain at a rather infantile level. | 106 |
| Ken Robinson | Learning happens in the minds and souls, not in the databases of multiple-choice tests. | 106 |
| Kevin Bacon | Part of being a man is learning to take responsibility for your successes and for your failures. You can't go blaming others or being jealous. Seeing somebody else's success as your failure is a cancerous way to live. | 106 |
| Kid Rock | Surround yourself with good people. Whether they're the best or not, people are capable of learning if they've got good hearts and they're good souls. | 106 |
| Lisa Randall | I was always good at math, but I was good at everything. It sounds obnoxious, but I was just smart. In school, it's kind of obvious when you're learning things faster than other kids. | 106 |
| Martha Graham | We learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. One becomes in some area an athlete of God. | 106 |
| Miley Cyrus | I always say the minute I stop making mistakes is the minute I stop learning and I've definitely learned a lot. | 106 |
| Novalis | Learning is pleasurable but doing is the height of enjoyment. | 106 |
| Robert Winston | By discovering how our minds work, we can improve our learning power and unlock our true potential. | 106 |
| Tom Cruise | I'm passionate about learning. I'm passionate about life. | 106 |
| Woody Harrelson | When I had just started 'Cheers,' my nerves were ajangle, to put it mildly. I was absolutely terrified. What you're learning is to not show the fear, and to ultimately overcome it so that the level of relaxation is commensurate with the level of tension. | 106 |
| Zoe Saldana | I'm learning the power of going away for the weekend and keeping myself company. | 106 |
| Hayden Panettiere | I spend so much time with the brightest and most talented and well-rounded people. I've had the privilege of having long and very intellectual conversations with people, and sometimes I just sit there and listen. It's like a better version of a class. Even though I'm not sitting at a desk and in school, I'm still learning all the time. | 106 |
| Josie Loren | I was a very good student. Procrastinating gives me anxiety, and getting a B really ticked me off. Sure, I didn't always want to do my homework, but I actually really liked school. As nerdy as it sounds, I love learning. | 106 |
| Lionel Hampton | I worked hard learning harmony and theory when I was growing up in Chicago in the 1920s. | 106 |
| Michael Buble | I am a candid interview and I have a dark and dry sense of humor - a very Canadian sense of humor and I am only learning now stupidly that you can't read tongue. When I say something funny in a newspaper and I meant it to be funny, it doesn't read that way. | 106 |
| Renee Fleming | Everybody's a work in progress. I'm a work in progress. I mean, I've never arrived... I'm still learning all the time. | 106 |
| Saoirse Ronan | Learning is the most important thing, no mater how you do it, or where you do it, or who you do it with. | 106 |
| Ali MacGraw | I'm learning how to live in the present and be grateful for what's working rather than look for the 'what's not working' piece. | 106 |
| Carol Vorderman | Next year, I hope there will be even more parties, lots of holidays and just having a good time, really. Plus wing-walking, air shows and learning to fly, as they are all things I want to do. I won't be restricted by age. | 106 |
| Ernest Istook | Home schooled children frequently combine for many purposes - and they interact well. The growth of the home schooling movement means that more and more children are learning together, just not in a traditional classroom. | 106 |
| Gregory Bateson | In the transmission of human culture, people always attempt to replicate, to pass on to the next generation the skills and values of the parents, but the attempt always fails because cultural transmission is geared to learning, not DNA. | 106 |
| John Darnielle | I am permanently a student of people who make great songs, but besides sort of learning by absorption, I just love listening to music, hearing what's going on, hearing new things or new old things. | 106 |
| Lance Loud | The bulk of my learning - if I may call it such - has come within the past three months, after I became a part of the fragile body of patients who make up an AIDS hospice. Here, surrounded by teams of supportive nurses, attentive doctors, and interns, one gently comes upon his own strengths and shortcomings. | 106 |
| Scott Weiss | Working at a big company sucks - avoid it. Smaller companies are 10 times better for learning. | 106 |
| Sylvia Browne | The more painful it is, tragically, the more you do learn, though, that's the good part. | 106 |
| Thomas Menino | One of our key strategies has been to restructure traditional high schools into small learning communities with personalized attention and a range of options. | 106 |
| Anna Neagle | But the important thing about learning to wait, I feel sure, is to know what you are waiting for. | 106 |
| Sugata Mitra | Learning is the new skill. Imagination, creation and asking new questions are at its core. | 106 |
| Doris Roberts | I'm learning something all the time. That's the way I want it to go, and that's the way I'll go until I am no longer on this planet. | 106 |
| Joseph Lancaster | All are agreed, that the increase of learning and good morals are great blessings to society. | 106 |
| Thomas Carper | That's not all our crops can do. We are also learning how to transform plants into factories. We can now raise plants that will create enzymes that would otherwise be created in chemical factories. | 106 |
| Mitchel Resnick | I became interested in educational technologies because I believe that they have the potential to transform how we practice and think about education and learning. | 106 |
| Anant Agarwal | Concepts like edX and online learning will transform education. This will completely change the world. I believe that people will move to online learning, both on campuses and worldwide. We have a real opportunity to be able to bring people around the world into our fold. | 106 |
| John Hersey | Learning starts with failure; the first failure is the beginning of education. | 106 |
| Joshua Waitzkin | My coach and my parents both had this relationship to what I was doing, which was allowing me to express myself with chess. And so I could love it. I had a passion for it. I was expressing myself through chess, and I was learning about myself through chess. | 106 |
| Leo Buscaglia | It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them. | 107 |
| Rabindranath Tagore | Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time. | 107 |
| Carl Rogers | I believe that the testing of the student's achievements in order to see if he meets some criterion held by the teacher, is directly contrary to the implications of therapy for significant learning. | 107 |
| Cesar Millan | I'm open for possibilities. I'm open for choices. I always welcome new ideas. I'm always eager to learn. I'm never going to close my mind from learning. | 107 |
| Chesley Sullenberger | One of the things I teach my children is that I have always invested in myself, and I have never stopped learning, never stopped growing. | 107 |
| Erin Gruwell | When you're too robotic and scripted, the students tune you out. So I always tried to use different learning modalities - kinesthetic, auditory, visual, whatever might bring learning to life. | 107 |
| Heston Blumenthal | And I like asking questions, to keep learning; people with big egos might not want to look unsure. | 107 |
| Michael Gove | It is literally the case that learning languages makes you smarter. The neural networks in the brain strengthen as a result of language learning. | 107 |
| Nicolas Roeg | And later I thought, I can't think how anyone can become a director without learning the craft of cinematography. | 107 |
| Rene Redzepi | Learning about issues such as sustainability and locavorism are things that you need to have as part of you as a chef because it will make you cook more delicious food. | 107 |
| Samuel Smiles | The experience gathered from books, though often valuable, is but the nature of learning; whereas the experience gained from actual life is one of the nature of wisdom. | 107 |
| Tony Fadell | Learning by doing is the only way I know how to learn. | 107 |
| Wale | I'm learning as I go. I don't know everything. I never had anybody to look at, nobody ever taught me, and where I'm from I didn't have any famous role models. | 107 |
| Yao Ming | Basketball, in America, is like a culture. It is like a foreigner learning a new language. It is difficult to learn foreign languages and it will also be difficult for me to learn the culture for basketball here. | 107 |
| Daniel Tammet | My mother is not a model. She is not perfect. That awareness is part of learning to love someone. Predicting the actions of someone is an act of love. We persist, even when we get it wrong. That's the beauty of love. | 107 |
| Darell Hammond | Our education system is increasingly embracing a black-and-white way of thinking, in which 'learning' and 'play' are diametrically opposed. 'Learning' is the serious stuff that happens inside a classroom and can be measured via multiple choice questions and a No. 2 pencil. 'Play' is frivolous, fun, and worst of all, optional. | 107 |
| Henry Reed | People are learning to feel more comfortable hearing one another's dreams. It used to be that if you told a dream in public, someone had to make a joke to relieve the tension introduced by that alternative reality. | 107 |
| John Caudwell | Some of the things I did in my early career were massive learning curves because I had no one to guide me. You learn very quickly because it costs you torment and trouble. | 107 |
| Kenny Loggins | I am learning to forgive my inner geek, and even value him as a free man. | 107 |
| Kylie Minogue | There's no shortcut to learning a craft; you just have to put the years in. | 107 |
| Lea Thompson | Of course, I'd like to produce and direct a blockbuster, but you gotta build up to that. So now I'm learning from a bunch of little movies. And it's more fun with smaller pictures. It's more creative. | 107 |
| Lisa Ling | When you take the time to understand why your parents did the things they did, you stand a good chance of learning more about your own behavior. | 107 |
| Mary Baker Eddy | True prayer is not asking God for love; it is learning to love, and to include all mankind in one affection. Prayer is the utilization of the love wherewith He loves us. | 107 |
| Matthew Fox | I'm really enjoying the process of learning to fly. How it will fit into my life down the road - I'm looking forward to discovering that. | 107 |
| Mila Kunis | I enjoy living life and I enjoy going to different restaurants and eating my way through a country and going to different museums and learning about different cultures. | 107 |
| Travis Barker | I was a kid, and I wasn't even sure if I wanted to play the drums, you know? All I wanted to do was skateboard, but I was still learning and taking it in, so it was good. | 107 |
| Alison Brie | I think it's never too late to learn - or it's a lesson that's good to continue learning - that you need to treat everyone on a set with respect. | 107 |
| Andrew Greeley | I have terrible handwriting. I now say it's a learning disability... but a nun who was a very troubled woman hit me over the fingers with a ruler because my writing was so bad. | 107 |
| Ann Bancroft | I get stubborn and dig in when people tell me I can't do something and I think I can. It goes back to my childhood when I had problems in school because I have a learning disability. | 107 |
| Patsy Kensit | Everything in life is a lesson and I have learned from each marriage. Yes, I've made mistakes but every experience is a learning curve. | 107 |
| Mikaela Shiffrin | Whether it's learning to hit a backhand in tennis, learning high school chemistry, or getting better at ski racing, I really believe with hard work and analytic preparation, you can skip a few steps and find the faster way. | 107 |
| Sugata Mitra | People are adamant learning is not just looking at a Google page. But it is. Learning is looking at Google pages. What is wrong with that? | 107 |
| John Naisbitt | In a world that is constantly changing, there is no one subject or set of subjects that will serve you for the foreseeable future, let alone for the rest of your life. The most important skill to acquire now is learning how to learn. | 107 |
| Ruben Santiago-Hudson | My knowledge and thirst for knowledge has no expiration date... It goes until I'm dead. I will be learning and studying from youth, as well as people older than me... Having degrees as a person of color in this country is the one thing that can't nobody take away from me. | 107 |
| Jonathan Rhys Meyers | I've never gone to acting school and I never will, so I'm learning about the business from the people who are in the business. It doesn't seem like I work at all. And the unknown is always exciting. | 107 |
| Jodi Rell | Our libraries are valuable centers of education, learning and enrichment for people of all ages. In recent years, libraries have taken on an increasingly important role. today's libraries are about much more than books. | 107 |
| Julia Sawalha | I love to travel with my family or my two best friends because I completely trust them. I forced my two best friends into learning to scuba dive with me in Sri Lanka - it was amazing but also hideous because we were learning in very difficult seas. | 107 |
| Ernest Hemingway | I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen. | 108 |
| Tony Robbins | The secret of success is learning how to use pain and pleasure instead of having pain and pleasure use you. If you do that, you're in control of your life. If you don't, life controls you. | 108 |
| Alexander Pope | A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring. | 108 |
| Morgan Freeman | Learning how to be still, to really be still and let life happen - that stillness becomes a radiance. | 108 |
| Bill Maher | This has been a learning experience for me. I also thought that privacy was something we were granted in the Constitution. I have learned from this when in fact the word privacy does not appear in the Constitution. | 108 |
| Dan Rather | A tough lesson in life that one has to learn is that not everybody wishes you well. | 108 |
| Hugh Jackman | My father is a real idealist, and he's all about learning. If I asked for a pair of Nikes growing up, it was just a resounding 'No.' But if I asked for a saxophone, one would appear and next day and I'd be signed up for lessons. So anything to do with education or learning, my father would spare no expense. | 108 |
| Ken Burns | You can learn as much about the history from reading about the present as you can vice versa, that is learning about the present through history, which is what I do for a living. | 108 |
| Nicholas Negroponte | Learning by doing, peer-to-peer teaching, and computer simulation are all part of the same equation. | 108 |
| Satya Nadella | At Microsoft, we're aspiring to have a living, learning culture with a growth mindset that allows us to learn from ourselves and our customers. These are the key attributes of the new culture at Microsoft, and I feel great about how it seems to be resonating and how it's seen as empowering. | 108 |
| Warren Bennis | Success in management requires learning as fast as the world is changing. | 108 |
| Jessamyn West | Teaching is the royal road to learning. | 108 |
| Maeve Binchy | I was lucky enough to be fairly quick at understanding what was taught, but unlucky enough not to be really interested in it, so I always got my exams but never had the scholar's love of learning for its own sake. | 108 |
| Mark McGwire | In '83, we went over to Amsterdam. I just remember people saying, 'Baseball's just starting over here. They're learning how to play the game of baseball.' | 108 |
| Timothy Ferriss | When I left the U.S. for the first time, I spent my first year abroad in Japan. That culture shock and abundance of new stimuli combined with a lack of guidance forced me to develop my own approaches to learning and juggling. | 108 |
| Benjamin Jowett | We cannot seek or attain health, wealth, learning, justice or kindness in general. Action is always specific, concrete, individualized, unique. | 108 |
| Cal Ripken, Jr. | A lot of people think I had such a rosy career, but I wanted to identify that one of the things that helps you have a long career is learning how to deal with adversity, how to get past it. Once I learned how to get through that, others things didn't seem so hard. | 108 |
| Jane Pauley | In the beginning when I sat next to Tom Brokaw on the 'Today' show, the stories I was interested in were those having to do with women and children and learning and health. In those days, 25 to 30 years ago, that was called soft news, and not in a nice way. | 108 |
| Michael N. Castle | During the days of segregation, there was not a place of higher learning for African Americans. They were simply not welcome in many of the traditional schools. And from this backward policy grew the network of historical black colleges and universities. | 108 |
| Mikaela Shiffrin | I love traveling and seeing new things, learning the histories of different cultures. But I've always wanted to go to the Galapagos to see the giant turtles. | 108 |
| Rian Johnson | Hopefully with each thing that you do you're learning something, you're growing, and you're pushing yourself a little harder in some way or another. So I think you'd be in real trouble if each new thing that you create didn't feel like 'Oh, wow. I feel like I'm doing something a little different this time.' | 108 |
| Tony Buzan | Memory and creativity are essential to education, but if you teach memory incorrectly, it is a total waste of time, and it will inhibit learning. | 108 |
| Leonardo da Vinci | The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding. | 109 |
| Euripides | Question everything. Learn something. Answer nothing. | 109 |
| Albert Pike | Philosophy is a kind of journey, ever learning yet never arriving at the ideal perfection of truth. | 109 |
| Bindi Irwin | As I'm getting older, I'm really learning unconditional love and loyalty are extremely important. | 109 |
| Derek Bok | Doctoral training is devoted almost entirely to learning to do research, even though most Ph.Ds who enter academic life spend far more time teaching than they do conducting experiments or writing books. | 109 |
| Frederick William Faber | Kindness has converted more sinners than zeal, eloquence, or learning. | 109 |
| Giada De Laurentiis | I think children learning to cook can be such a wonderful thing. It can help build confidence, make them feel good about themselves. It helped me build my ego and even start to get acceptance at school. I'd bring things to class that I'd cooked at home. | 109 |
| Jim Carrey | I don't think human beings learn anything without desperation. Desperation is a necessary ingredient to learning anything or creating anything. Period. If you ain't desperate at some point, you ain't interesting. | 109 |
| Khaled Hosseini | I remember reading 'The Grapes of Wrath' in high school in 1983. My family had immigrated to the U.S. three years before, and I had spent the better part of the first two years learning English. John Steinbeck's book was the first book I read in English where I had an 'Aha!' moment, namely in the famed turtle chapter. | 109 |
| Lauryn Hill | This life is a process of learning. | 109 |
| Lord Acton | Learn as much by writing as by reading. | 109 |
| Marc Benioff | Learning how to interact with customers is something that anyone starting any business must master. It's an amazing opportunity to be able to learn the ropes at an established company and then employ your expertise at your own company. | 109 |
| Michael Gove | Children themselves know they are being cheated. Ultimately we owe it to our children. They are in school for 190 days a year. Every moment they spend learning is precious. If a year goes by and they are not being stretched and excited, that blights their life. | 109 |
| Miguel de Cervantes | For a man to attain to an eminent degree in learning costs him time, watching, hunger, nakedness, dizziness in the head, weakness in the stomach, and other inconveniences. | 109 |
| Nassim Nicholas Taleb | Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg didn't finish college. Too much emphasis is placed on formal education - I told my children not to worry about their grades but to enjoy learning. | 109 |
| Neil Peart | I'm learning all the time. I'm evolving all the time as a human being. I'm getting better, I hope, in all of the important ways. | 109 |
| Rene Redzepi | There's no media training. In cooking school, there's not even manager training. You learn the fundamentals of cooking. Everything else is learning by doing. | 109 |
| Ricky Williams | I started practicing yoga. I started learning some hands-on healing stuff. And I found really good chiropractors, really good massage therapists, and what I found is I've been able to actually peel off layers of trauma on my body and actually move better now than I did. | 109 |
| Ron White | The way my brain processes information is quite odd. I mean, I have Attention Deficit Disorder and another learning disability I can't even spell. I don't even have a high school diploma. I'm smart, but you can't prove it on paper. | 109 |
| Sheri L. Dew | I know how to set an irrigation tube, and I helped with the harvest. I learned the law of the harvest without even knowing I was learning it. On the farm, you learn early that you reap what you sow. | 109 |
| Vitruvius | Architecture is a science arising out of many other sciences, and adorned with much and varied learning; by the help of which a judgment is formed of those works which are the result of other arts. | 109 |
| Alison Gopnik | Young children seem to be learning who to share this toy with and figure out how it works, while adolescents seem to be exploring some very deep and profound questions: 'How should this society work? How should relationships among people work?' The exploration is: 'Who am I, what am I doing?' | 109 |
| Doug Larson | The trouble with learning from experience is that you never graduate. | 109 |
| Eugene H. Peterson | Spirituality is no different from what we've been doing for two thousand years just by going to church and receiving the sacraments, being baptized, learning to pray, and reading Scriptures rightly. It's just ordinary stuff. | 109 |
| Leigh Steinberg | It's learning how to negotiate to keep both sides happy - whether it's for a multi-million dollar contract or just which show to watch on TV, that determines the quality and enjoyment of our lives. | 109 |
| Abraham Verghese | What we need in medical schools is not to teach empathy, as much as to preserve it - the process of learning huge volumes of information about disease, of learning a specialized language, can ironically make one lose sight of the patient one came to serve; empathy can be replaced by cynicism. | 109 |
| Andrew Bird | My mom had this romantic notion of her children playing classical music. The idea is you learn it when you're still learning language. It's using the same part of the brain. | 109 |
| Biz Stone | I never even graduated college. I never finished learning, as it were, and I have a psychological need to be in a learning environment at all times. | 109 |
| Sonakshi Sinha | Hits and flops will come and go. But what stays with you is the experience you had while shooting a film. I am happy learning something new each time. | 109 |
| Tom Chatfield | Over tens and hundreds of thousands of years, we evolved to find certain things stimulating, and as very intelligent, civilized beings, we're enormously stimulated by problem solving and learning. | 109 |
| Tony Buzan | Mind mapping is a technique based on memory and creativity and comprehension and understanding, so when the student or a child uses the mind map, they are using their brain in the way their brain was designed to be used, and so the mind helps them in all learning and cognitive skills. It simply helps them in what the brain does naturally. | 109 |
| Don Tapscott | Knowledge is exploding, so you need to commit yourself to a plan for lifelong learning. | 109 |
| Jamie Campbell Bower | Particularly for English people, Shakespeare is always at the forefront of both drama and the English language. He's always been there. I can't remember starting school and not learning about him. | 109 |
| David Hume | Scholastic learning and polemical divinity retarded the growth of all true knowledge. | 110 |
| Gloria Steinem | The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn. | 110 |
| Henry Ford | Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young. | 110 |
| William Arthur Ward | Curiosity is the wick in the candle of learning. | 110 |
| Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. | The main part of intellectual education is not the acquisition of facts, but learning how to make facts live. | 110 |
| Ban Ki-moon | By including children with different learning abilities in mainstream and specialized schools, we can change attitudes and promote respect. By creating suitable jobs for adults with autism, we integrate them into society. | 110 |
| Chesley Sullenberger | My mother was a first-grade teacher, so I credit her with this lifelong intellectual curiosity I have, and love of reading and learning. | 110 |
| Dorothea Lange | A camera is a tool for learning how to see without a camera. | 110 |
| Hayley Williams | Whether I'm being influenced by new music that I'm listening to, books I've read, my friends, or my faith, I'm learning all the time. | 110 |
| Herbert A. Simon | Learning is any change in a system that produces a more or less permanent change in its capacity for adapting to its environment. | 110 |
| Joseph B. Wirthlin | In spite of discouragement and adversity, those who are happiest seem to have a way of learning from difficult times, becoming stronger, wiser and happier as a result. | 110 |
| Lucy Maud Montgomery | We should regret our mistakes and learn from them, but never carry them forward into the future with us. | 110 |
| Naveen Jain | Education should not be about building more schools and maintaining a system that dates back to the Industrial Revolution. We can achieve so much more, at unmatched scale with software and interactive learning. | 110 |
| Neil Peart | The real test of a musician is live performance. It's one thing to spend a long time learning how to play well in the studio, but to do it in front of people is what keeps me coming back to touring. | 110 |
| Philippe Petit | I needed more knowledge in rigging and knotting. I started collecting books on knots and really learning more and more. That's how it started. And also in magic, of course. With a piece of rope, you can do magic. | 110 |
| Robert Byrne | Learning to dislike children at an early age saves a lot of expense and aggravation later in life. | 110 |
| Vitruvius | Perhaps, to the uninformed, it may appear unaccountable that a man should be able to retain in his memory such a variety of learning; but the close alliance with each other, of the different branches of science, will explain the difficulty. | 110 |
| Antony Gormley | There is no question that creative intelligence comes not through learning things you find in books or histories that have already been written, but by focusing on and giving value to experience as it happens. | 110 |
| Aphra Behn | He that knew all that learning ever writ, Knew only this - that he knew nothing yet. | 110 |
| Bruce Feiler | I grew up in the age of discount air fare, and for me, the act of joining a culture was a great way about learning about that different culture. So I grew up in the South, and went to college in the North, and found out that I learned about myself as a Southerner by leaving the South and going to the Northeast. | 110 |
| Lynda Resnick | As places of learning, schools have a responsibility to also educate on nutrition, which we all can agree is far more important than algebra, no matter what your third-period teacher claims. | 110 |
| Mac DeMarco | I like guitar. It just turned out that it's the instrument I learned to play. I have a lot of respect for it, and I'm learning more and more every day. For me, the classic band setup - guitars, drums, bass - will stay fresh forever. I don't know. I'm still into it. | 110 |
| Pearl Bailey | Hungry people cannot be good at learning or producing anything, except perhaps violence. | 110 |
| Sophia Amoruso | Sometimes in the world, there's such pressure to follow a certain path that we forget the importance of learning as we go. | 110 |
| Tom Watson | I've said many times, 'You learn to win through not liking to lose.' And that's what I mean by learning how to win. | 110 |
| Allen Klein | It has been said that 80% of what people learn is visual. | 110 |
| Anthony Trollope | There is no royal road to learning; no short cut to the acquirement of any art. | 110 |
| David D. Burns | Every time you feel depressed about something, try to identify a corresponding negative thought you had just prior to and during the depression. Because these thoughts have actually created your bad mood, by learning to restructure them, you can change your mood. | 110 |
| Julius Erving | I think I started learning lessons about being a good person long before I ever knew what basketball was. And that starts in the home, it starts with the parental influence. | 110 |
| Michelle Malkin | Are your kids learning the right lessons about 9/11? Ten years after Osama bin Laden's henchmen murdered thousands of innocents on American soil, too many children have been spoon-fed the thin gruel of progressive political correctness over the stiff antidote of truth. | 110 |
| Richie Sambora | Learning about all those different things psychologically - about grief and my own addictions and problems and stuff like that, and really getting an education on it, I think it was part of the process of it, learning about it and trying to lick it. | 110 |
| Jessica Ennis | I learned what I need to do in the long jump, what I needed to do in the javelin and I've been able to rectify those events. It's been a bit of a learning curve, which is good. | 110 |
| Bill Gates | Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning. | 111 |
| Elon Musk | Patience is a virtue, and I'm learning patience. It's a tough lesson. | 111 |
| Elizabeth Olsen | What keeps you confident in a healthy way is knowing that everyone else around you is going to support you and teach you and you're going to learn from them. I just feel open to learning from people. | 111 |
| Heraclitus | Much learning does not teach understanding. | 111 |
| Kirk Douglas | The learning process continues until the day you die. | 111 |
| Louisa May Alcott | I'm not afraid of storms, for I'm learning how to sail my ship. | 111 |
| Mitt Romney | Some of the companies we helped start are names you know. An office supply company called Staples - where I'm pleased to see the Obama campaign has been shopping; The Sports Authority, which became a favorite of my sons. We started an early childhood learning center called Bright Horizons that First Lady Michelle Obama rightly praised. | 111 |
| Naveen Jain | Just think of the opportunities we can unlock by making education as addictive as a video game. This type of experiential, addictive learning improves decision-making skills and increases the processing speed and spatial skills of the brain. When was the last time your child asked for help with a video game? | 111 |
| Paul Prudhomme | I opened my own restaurant when I was 17. I went broke, then traveled around the country, learning about different kinds of foods, had three other restaurants that went broke. It didn't all start just a few years ago! | 111 |
| Steve Irwin | The only animals I'm not comfortable with are parrots, but I'm learning as I go. I'm getting better and better at 'em. I really am. | 111 |
| Taylor Caldwell | Learning should be a joy and full of excitement. It is life's greatest adventure; it is an illustrated excursion into the minds of the noble and the learned. | 111 |
| Vivien Leigh | English people don't have very good diction. In France you have to pronounce very particularly and clearly, and learning French at an early age helped me enormously. | 111 |
| William Glasser | Education is the process in which we discover that learning adds quality to our lives. Learning must be experienced. | 111 |
| Xenophanes | All men begin their learning with Homer. | 111 |
| Allan Bloom | Education in our times must try to find whatever there is in students that might yearn for completion, and to reconstruct the learning that would enable them autonomously to seek that completion. | 111 |
| Dimebag Darrell | Lessons didn't really work out for me, so I went to the old school, listening to records and learning what I wanted to learn. | 111 |
| Elizabeth Blackburn | The goal is to learn more about telomere length and other markers of ageing, how best to measure these markers, how they are related to health and lifestyle, and how people respond to learning their own telomere length results. | 111 |
| Summer Sanders | Daily repetition matters when a kid is learning to swim. It can be 20 minutes in a lesson or an hour practicing for a couple of weeks. | 111 |
| Taylor Schilling | I am very interested in Ayurvedic medicine and hope to explore it more someday. I only have a very superficial understanding of the whole thing right now. But learning what my body type is has shifted my whole self-care regime a bit, and I feel better because of it. | 111 |
| Michelle Rodriguez | The best part of making the movies... learning from the pros themselves. | 111 |
| Suzanne Fields | The lopsided attitudes of college professors pose a serious challenge to learning because students are so susceptible to becoming lopsided sheep. | 111 |
| Sugata Mitra | The best schools tend to have the best teachers, not to mention parents who supervise homework, so there is less need for self-organised learning. But where a child comes from a less supportive home environment, where there are family tensions perhaps, their schoolwork can suffer. They need to be taught to think and study for themselves. | 111 |
| Carl Sagan | Personally, I would be delighted if there were a life after death, especially if it permitted me to continue to learn about this world and others, if it gave me a chance to discover how history turns out. | 112 |
| Gary Vaynerchuk | People are more comfortable learning about wine because now they can just Google, you know, 'Soave,' and say, 'Oh, O.K., cool.' | 112 |
| Henry Ford | Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward. | 112 |
| Sai Baba | The life ahead can only be glorious if you learn to live in total harmony with the Lord. | 112 |
| Alex Ferguson | Football management is such a pressurised thing - horseracing is a release. I'm also learning to play the piano - I'm quite determined - it's another release from the pressure of my job. | 112 |
| Brie Larson | I'm learning with the older that I get that some feelings are just universal and that I'm not the only one who hates their hair or their life at times. | 112 |
| Charles M. Schwab | There is no royal road to a successful life, as there is no royal road to learning. It has got to be hard knocks, morning, noon, and night, and fixity of purpose. | 112 |
| Donnie Yen | I try to update my arsenal constantly. Learning different martial arts since childhood. To understand what's out there. To really be in tune. | 112 |
| Geoff Mulgan | All over the world, social innovation is tackling some of the most pressing problems facing society today - from fair trade, distance learning, hospices, urban farming and waste reduction to restorative justice and zero-carbon housing. But most of these are growing despite, not because of, help from governments. | 112 |
| Keke Palmer | The music industry is something that I'm still trying to understand. With acting, I've been doing it for so long that I understand every aspect of it for the most part - there are obviously still more aspects that I need to learn - but I have a grasp on it. With music, I'm still learning. I'm still getting used to it. | 112 |
| Kevyn Aucoin | I'm not saying that putting on makeup will change the world or even your life, but it can be a first step in learning things about yourself you may never have discovered otherwise. At worst, you could make a big mess and have a good laugh. | 112 |
| Louisa May Alcott | Painful as it may be, a significant emotional event can be the catalyst for choosing a direction that serves us - and those around us - more effectively. Look for the learning. | 112 |
| Michael J. Fox | There's always failure. And there's always disappointment. And there's always loss. But the secret is learning from the loss, and realizing that none of those holes are vacuums. | 112 |
| Natalie Portman | Going to a party, for me, is as much a learning experience as, you know, sitting in a lecture. | 112 |
| Plutarch | To make no mistakes is not in the power of man; but from their errors and mistakes the wise and good learn wisdom for the future. | 112 |
| Tom Clancy | Life is about learning; when you stop learning, you die. | 112 |
| Alison Gopnik | We learn differently as children than as adults. For grown-ups, learning a new skill is painful, attention-demanding, and slow. Children learn unconsciously and effortlessly. | 112 |
| Boy George | A lot of what I've been learning in the last two years is due to therapy - about my sexuality, why things go wrong, why relationships haven't worked. It isn't anything to do with anybody else; it's to do with me. | 112 |
| Damon Albarn | What you learn from working with other performers and musicians is invaluable, really, and can only help you grow. I mean, if you spend your whole life focusing on yourself, you're not really learning much. | 112 |
| Kristin Chenoweth | I'm constantly learning, and that is the greatest gift of life in my opinion - to always be learning and growing. | 112 |
| Michael Fassbender | As an audience member, those studio films are fun. I like an adventure tale, and I also like to go see something that has more of a social pulse. I like to keep learning and trying new things. And if the scripts are good, it doesn't really matter. | 112 |
| Arjun Rampal | Even though I always knew I had a good nose for fragrances, the process of creating my own, 'Alive,' turned out to be a great learning experience for me. And the name explains my reason behind it. Smelling good makes you feel alive. | 112 |
| David D. Burns | Learning to accept failure on multiple levels is, to my way of thinking, the key to become a world-class therapist. But that means humility, and setting your ego aside, while you develop superb new technical skills. | 112 |
| Joseph Stiglitz | My teachers helped guide and motivate me; but the responsibility of learning was left with me, an approach to learning which was later reinforced by my experiences at Amherst. | 112 |
| Jim Rohn | Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins. | 113 |

| Charles M. Schulz | If I were given the opportunity to present a gift to the next generation, it would be the ability for each individual to learn to laugh at himself. | 113 |

| Chuck Close | There are so many artists that are dyslexic or learning disabled, it's just phenomenal. There's also an unbelievably high proportion of artists who are left-handed, and a high correlation between left-handedness and learning disabilities. | 113 |
| Elisabeth Kubler-Ross | The five stages - denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance - are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. But they are not stops on some linear timeline in grief. | 113 |
| Jessica Simpson | I'm interested in learning more about myself and what I value in myself and letting that be the beautiful part of me, rather than putting on the makeup or wearing the right designer. | 113 |
| Louise L. Hay | The gateways to wisdom and learning are always open, and more and more I am choosing to walk through them. Barriers, blocks, obstacles, and problems are personal teachers giving me the opportunity to move out of the past and into the Totality of Possibilities. | 113 |
| Nostradamus | There will be a great loss of learning before the moon's full cycle is completed. Fire and floods will be fomented by ignorant rulers; much time will go by before it is rectified. | 113 |
| Theo James | I had a pretty steep learning curve in film - as I'm still learning. | 113 |
| Timothy Leary | Learning how to operate a soul figures to take time. | 113 |
| Winona Ryder | I think I'm learning to be bolder in my career choices and be more confident in my personal life. I haven't always felt very secure as an individual, but now I feel I certain confidence and sense of self that gets me through the day a lot better than before. | 113 |
| Edward Thorndike | Human beings are accustomed to think of intellect as the power of having and controlling ideas and of ability to learn as synonymous with ability to have ideas. But learning by having ideas is really one of the rare and isolated events in nature. | 113 |
| Eugene H. Peterson | That's the whole spiritual life. It's learning how to die. And as you learn how to die, you start losing all your illusions, and you start being capable now of true intimacy and love. | 113 |
| Junot Diaz | Students teach all sorts of things but most importantly they make explicit the courage that it takes to be a learner, the courage it takes to open yourself to the transformative power of real learning and that courage I am exposed to almost every day at MIT and that I'm deeply grateful for. | 113 |
| Rita Dove | My father is a chemist, my mother was a homemaker. My parents instilled in us the feeling that learning was the most exciting thing that could happen to you, and it never ends. | 113 |
| Sid Waddell | As a kid, I was school swot, but I used to hang around the billiard halls, learning that Geordie sense of humour, mixing with low-lifes. They were the sort who'd pick your pocket and then say 'Here you are lad, here's tuppence, get yourself some chips'. I was a good rugby player, a good runner, so I fitted in at Cambridge quite easily. | 113 |
| John Ridley | For children, diversity needs to be real and not merely relegated to learning the names of the usual suspects during Black History Month or enjoying south-of-the-border cuisine on Cinco de Mayo. It means talking to and spending time with kids not like them so that they may discover those kids are in fact just like them. | 113 |
| Anushka Sharma | Sometimes I get extremely disturbed with the things that are written. But you can't do anything about it. As a celebrity, you are putting yourself out there to be judged, and that's fine. I am now learning not to get affected by such things. I am building my career and making choices that I think are right while minding my own business. | 113 |
| John Morley | They are the guiding oracles which man has found out for himself in that great business of ours, of learning how to be, to do, to do without, and to depart. | 113 |
| Winston Churchill | I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught. | 114 |
| Frank Lloyd Wright | Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you. | 114 |
| George Bernard Shaw | I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it. | 114 |
| Kim Kardashian | You make mistakes, but I don't have any regrets. I'm the kind of person who takes responsibility for it and deals with it. I learn from everything I do. I work very hard, I have so many things going on in my life. Get to know me and see who I am. | 114 |
| Jane Goodall | I miss the early days; I do. I was so lucky. I basically had it to myself, learning about these chimpanzees. Nobody knew anything about them. Discovering their different personalities, different life histories. I was lucky. | 114 |
| Dave Grohl | Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument - learning to do your craft - that's the most important thing! It's not about what goes on in a computer! | 114 |
| Dave Ramsey | We are all in the business of sales. Teachers sell students on learning, parents sell their children on making good grades and behaving, and traditional salesmen sell their products. | 114 |
| Idina Menzel | For me, 'Rent' was all about coming out of myself, finding out who I was, learning the power I could have as a performer. And 'Wicked' was about harnessing all that strength. | 114 |
| Jean de La Fontaine | Let ignorance talk as it will, learning has its value. | 114 |
| Peter Benchley | In a deeply tribal sense, we love our monsters, and I think that is the key to it right there. It is monsters; it is learning about them: it is both thrill and safety. You can think of them without being desperately afraid because they are not going to come into your living room and eat you. That is 'Jaws.' | 114 |
| Petrarch | Books have led some to learning and others to madness. | 114 |
| Robin S. Sharma | Writing in a journal reminds you of your goals and of your learning in life. It offers a place where you can hold a deliberate, thoughtful conversation with yourself. | 114 |
| Robin Wright | Learning what you don't want is how you know what you do want. | 114 |
| Tyler Perry | Everyone can relate to love, hurt, pain, learning how to forgive, needing to get over, needing the power of God in their life. | 114 |
| David Brainerd | We are a long time in learning that all our strength and salvation is in God. | 114 |
| James Weldon Johnson | The battle was first waged over the right of the Negro to be classed as a human being with a soul; later, as to whether he had sufficient intellect to master even the rudiments of learning; and today it is being fought out over his social recognition. | 114 |
| John Irving | With every book, you go back to school. You become a student. You become an investigative reporter. You spend a little time learning what it's like to live in someone else's shoes. | 114 |
| Markus Persson | I never really had the fun teens of exploring the world because I was sitting at home, learning programming. | 114 |
| Moby | Most artists, you know, you spend their entire lives learning how to play music and write songs, and they don't really know how the music business works. | 114 |
| Dan Buettner | The luster of an experience can actually go up with time. So, learning to play a new instrument, learning a new language - those sorts of things will pay dividends for years or decades to come. | 114 |
| Sugata Mitra | Profound changes to how children access vast information is yielding new forms of peer-to-peer and individual-guided learning. | 114 |
| John Carpenter | I have two different categories of favorite films. One is the emotional favorites, which means these are generally films that I saw when I was a kid; anything you see in your formative years is more powerful, because it really stays with you forever. The second category is films that I saw while I was learning the craft of motion pictures. | 114 |

| Bindi Irwin | So many people have touched my heart and made an impact on my world. I'm thankful for every lesson and learning experience. | 115 |
| Brie Larson | I love mythology and folklore, and I respect the time, money, and opportunity that a film gives to an audience. It's a chance to empathize, reflect, and learn, so I really want to understand before I sign onto a project: 'What's the potential of this thing? What are we seeing and learning? What are we empathizing to?' | 115 |
| Buddy Rich | I can't sit down long enough to absorb any kind of learning. | 115 |
| Harvey Mackay | Life isn't fair. It's true, and you still have to deal with it. Whining about it rarely levels the playing field, but learning to rise above it is the ultimate reward. | 115 |
| Jonathan Ive | There's no learning without trying lots of ideas and failing lots of times. | 115 |
| Matthew Henry | Men of polite learning and a liberal education. | 115 |

| Jean-Bertrand Aristide | Of course, learning is strengthened and solidified when it occurs in a safe, secure and normal environment. | 115 |
| Albert Einstein | Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school. | 116 |
| B. B. King | The beautiful thing about learning is nobody can take it away from you. | 116 |
| G-Eazy | I read the Steve Jobs book, and that kind of changed everything. I've been, like, an Apple geek my whole life and have always seen him as a hero. But reading the book, and learning about how he built the company, and maintaining that corporate culture and all that, I think that influenced me a lot. | 116 |
| Megan Fox | I personally always find something really scary about watching little girls learning to manipulate their dads by baby talking. Then they grow up and use the same technique on their boyfriends or husbands. That scares me because it's just so sick on so many levels. | 116 |
| Miuccia Prada | For me, art is about learning and about living with people. It's alive. | 116 |
| Samuel Butler | Life is like playing a violin solo in public and learning the instrument as one goes on. | 116 |
| Steve Earle | All we do as songwriters is rewrite the songs that have impressed us till we find our own voice. It's part of learning the craft. | 116 |
| Adam Driver | For me, becoming a man had a lot to do with learning communication, and I learned about that by acting. | 116 |
| Sloane Crosley | I was diagnosed with a severe temporal spatial deficit, a learning disability that means I have zero spatial relations skills. It was official: I was a genius trapped in an idiot's body. | 116 |
| Douglas Conant | Learning to celebrate success is a key component of learning how to win in the market. | 116 |
| Stone Gossard | A significant event for me was learning Hank Williams, reconnecting with his music's simplicity, which inspired me to inhabit the same territory. It's different, because I grew up on Led Zeppelin, The Stooges and punk, so in that sense I'm mutating country and folk more than a few degrees. | 116 |
| Anita Brookner | I never learnt Hebrew because my health was fragile, and it was thought that learning Hebrew would be an added burden. I regret it, because I would like to be able to join in fully. Not that I am a believer, but I would like to be. | 116 |
| John Wooden | It's what you learn after you know it all that counts. | 117 |
| Stephen Covey | We are the creative force of our life, and through our own decisions rather than our conditions, if we carefully learn to do certain things, we can accomplish those goals. | 117 |
| Saint Ignatius | In the matter of learning, the difference between the earnest and the careless student stands out clearly. The same holds true in the mastering of passion and the weaknesses to which our nature is subject, as in the acquiring of virtue. | 117 |
| Alton Brown | I'm going from doing all of the work to having to delegate the work - which is almost harder for me than doing the work myself. I'm a lousy delegator, but I'm learning. | 117 |
| Andrea Bocelli | For me, riding a two-wheeler bike was very risky. Counting the pedal strokes before turning a corner and learning to hear the sounds coming from buildings, grass and the climbing frame made all the difference to basic survival and ensured that I didn't end up head-first in the sandpit. | 117 |
| B. B. King | Jazz is the big brother of the blues. If a guy's playing blues like we play, he's in high school. When he starts playing jazz it's like going on to college, to a school of higher learning. | 117 |
| Eric Hoffer | In times of change learners inherit the earth; while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists. | 117 |
| Geoff Mulgan | There is incredible potential for digital technology in and beyond the classroom, but it is vital to rethink how learning is organised if we are to reap the rewards. | 117 |
| Nikki Giovanni | I spend a lot of time learning about bird watching. | 117 |
| Nikki Reed | What is important is to treat everyone like an individual and learning not to generalize autism. With autism, people make assumptions, but it's very broad, and everyone's so different. You have to treat each person as an individual. | 117 |
| Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield | Never seem wiser, nor more learned, than the people you are with. Wear your learning, like your watch, in a private pocket: and do not merely pull it out and strike it; merely to show that you have one. | 117 |
| Robert Fulghum | I fear the boredom that comes with not learning and not taking chances. | 117 |
| Robertson Davies | The greatest gift that Oxford gives her sons is, I truly believe, a genial irreverence toward learning, and from that irreverence love may spring. | 117 |
| Thomas Szasz | Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one's self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily. | 117 |
| Wendy Kopp | Technology has enormous potential to address educational needs more efficiently, help teachers improve their performance, and enrich and individualize student learning. | 117 |
| Joni Eareckson Tada | When we say yes to the grace of God, we are learning how to die. | 117 |

| Confucius | He who learns but does not think, is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger. | 118 |
| P. J. O'Rourke | I grew up going to public school, and they were huge public schools. I went to a school that had 3,200 kids, and I had grade school classes with 40-some kids. Discipline was rigid. Most of the learning was rote. It worked. | 118 |
| W. Edwards Deming | Learning is not compulsory... neither is survival. | 118 |
| Barbara Kruger | Seeing is no longer believing. The very notion of truth has been put into crisis. In a world bloated with images, we are finally learning that photographs do indeed lie. | 118 |
| Chuck Close | I wanted to translate from one flat surface to another. In fact, my learning disabilities controlled a lot of things. I don't recognize faces, so I'm sure it's what drove me to portraits in the first place. | 118 |
| Daniel Radcliffe | It's mainly about working hard and proving to people you're serious about it, and stretching yourself and learning. The mistake a lot of actors make, particularly young ones, is allowing themselves to feel that they're the finished articles, the bee's knees, and it's not true. | 118 |
| Douglas Brinkley | I feel like I'm always learning from people. | 118 |
| Edward Young | Some for renown, on scraps of learning dote, And think they grow immortal as they quote. | 118 |
| Gil Scott-Heron | You have to learn and keep learning. | 118 |
| Lois Lowry | I believe without a single shadow of a doubt that it is necessary for young people to learn to make choices. Learning to make right choices is the only way they will survive in an increasingly frightening world. | 118 |
| Bill Rancic | Currently, I am overseeing the construction of the new Trump Tower in Chicago. I am involved in meeting with the construction crews, architects and sales teams. I am learning a lot and working with some of the best in the business. | 118 |
| Eliezer Yudkowsky | The purpose of a moral philosophy is not to look delightfully strange and counterintuitive or to provide employment to bioethicists. The purpose is to guide our choices toward life, health, beauty, happiness, fun, laughter, challenge, and learning. | 118 |
| John Travolta | For a while, I was saying 'no' way too often. I turned down 'An Officer and A Gentleman,' 'Splash' and 'Midnight Express.' I could name you tons more. I would go off and experience life instead of working - I was learning to fly jets, went on an African safari, sailed the Caribbean - which wasn't necessarily bad. | 118 |
| Sugata Mitra | In most schools, we measure children on what they know. By and large, they have to memorize the content of whatever test is coming up. Because measuring the results of rote learning is easy, rote prevails. What kids know is just not important in comparison with whether they can think. | 118 |
| Martin Luther King, Jr. | We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools. | 119 |
| Iyanla Vanzant | I'm moving into that eldership age, you know? I'm at the 'wise woman' age where it's not about learning, but utilizing the information that I have in a way that serves other people. That's a high calling and it's a great responsibility. | 119 |
| Margaret Mead | It is utterly false and cruelly arbitrary to put all the play and learning into childhood, all the work into middle age, and all the regrets into old age. | 119 |
| Heather Brooke | If Anonymous and Lulzsec are the id of hacking, then physical hackerspaces are the heart of the higher-minded hacking ideals: freedom of information, meritocracy of ideas, a joy of learning and anti-authoritarianism. | 119 |
| Huey Newton | I didn't get trained by the school system like other kids, and when I did concentrate on learning, my mind was cluttered and locked by the programming of the system. | 119 |
| Jean Baudrillard | In the same way that we need statesmen to spare us the abjection of exercising power, we need scholars to spare us the abjection of learning. | 119 |
| Justin Trudeau | We're committed to making sure parents have affordable, quality early learning for their kids - there's no question about it. | 119 |
| Karlie Kloss | I'm learning Spanish - I got Rosetta Stone for Christmas. | 119 |
| Robert Dallek | Public scandals are America's favorite parlor sport. Learning about the flaws and misdeeds of the rich and famous seems to satisfy our egalitarian yearnings. | 119 |
| Salman Rushdie | I do think of Bombay as my hometown. Those are the streets I walked when I was learning to walk. And it's the place that my imagination has returned to more than anywhere else. | 119 |
| Warren Bennis | Taking charge of your own learning is a part of taking charge of your life, which is the sine qua non in becoming an integrated person. | 119 |
| Mary Roach | Science is you! It's your head, it's your dog, it's your iPhone - it's the world. How do you see that as boring? If it's boring, it's because you're learning it from a textbook. | 119 |
| Julianne Moore | Behavior is mutable. It changes from place to place. It's like accents, dialect - it varies from one area to another. But there are universal truths about what it means to be a human being. All the other stuff is like applique. Learning that was interesting to me and probably useful for becoming an actor. | 119 |
| Sugata Mitra | Too often we see that teachers and educational administrators feel threatened by self-organized learning. They, therefore, think it is not learning at all. | 119 |
| Confucius | You cannot open a book without learning something. | 120 |
| Isaac Asimov | Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know - and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge, so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so, knowledge remains better than ignorance. | 120 |
| Denis Waitley | Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future. | 120 |
| W. Clement Stone | Like success, failure is many things to many people. With Positive Mental Attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order and prepare to try again. | 120 |
| Adam Savage | Being a geek is all about learning the inventories of things. | 120 |
| Bodhidharma | If you use your mind to study reality, you won't understand either your mind or reality. If you study reality without using your mind, you'll understand both. | 120 |
| David Blunkett | It is a mistake to separate learning for work and for community and personal development. | 120 |
| Dee Hock | The prudent course is to make an investment in learning, testing and understanding, determine how the new concepts compare to how you now operate and thoughtfully determine how they apply to what you want to achieve in the future. | 120 |
| Newt Gingrich | We tried to have diplomas without learning, we tried to have jobs without work, we tried to have houses without savings, we tried to have government without responsibility. | 120 |
| Peter Thiel | The next Bill Gates will not start an operating system. The next Larry Page won't start a search engine. The next Mark Zuckerberg won't start a social network company. If you are copying these people, you are not learning from them. | 120 |
| Thomas Szasz | Narcissist: psychoanalytic term for the person who loves himself more than his analyst; considered to be the manifestation of a dire mental disease whose successful treatment depends on the patient learning to love the analyst more and himself less. | 120 |
| James Hillman | We need to have an educational system that's able to embrace all sorts of minds, and where a student doesn't have to fit into a certain mold of learning. | 120 |
| Joel Edgerton | Everything is a learning process: any time you fall over, it's just teaching you to stand up the next time. | 120 |
| John W. Gardner | One of the reasons people stop learning is that they become less and less willing to risk failure. | 120 |
| Frederick Douglass | A little learning, indeed, may be a dangerous thing, but the want of learning is a calamity to any people. | 121 |
| Bill Watterson | Why waste time learning, when ignorance is instantaneous? | 121 |
| George Foreman | It's great to reminisce about good memories of my past. It was enjoyable when it was today. So learning to enjoy today has two benefits: it gives me happiness right now, and it becomes a good memory later. | 121 |
| Henry Louis Gates | We can revolutionize the attitude of inner city brown and black kids to learning. We need a civil rights movement within the African-American community. | 121 |
| Joseph Joubert | He who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet. | 121 |
| Tom Hiddleston | I always found the extraordinary loss of life in the First World War very moving. I remember learning about it as a very young child, as an eight- or nine-year-old, asking my teachers what poppies were for. Every year the teachers would suddenly wear these red paper flowers in their lapels, and I would say 'What does that mean?' | 121 |
| Sugata Mitra | Experiments show that children in unsupervised groups are capable of answering questions many years ahead of the material they're learning in school. In fact, they seem to enjoy the absence of adult supervision, and they are very confident of finding the right answer. | 121 |
| George S. Patton | Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable. | 122 |
| James Madison | What spectacle can be more edifying or more seasonable, than that of Liberty and Learning, each leaning on the other for their mutual and surest support? | 122 |
| Robert A. Heinlein | I never learned from a man who agreed with me. | 122 |
| Anthony J. D'Angelo | Never stop learning; knowledge doubles every fourteen months. | 122 |
| Claire Danes | On a film you can really get away with learning the scene the night before and that's often just not possible with TV, so you have to be a little bit more prepared a little bit more in advance. | 122 |
| Dean Kamen | I would argue that education, actual learning - it is hard work. It's very personal. Your parents don't teach you anything. Your teachers don't teach you anything. The government doesn't teach you anything. You read it. You don't understand it; you read it again. You break a pencil and read it again. | 122 |
| Joseph Joubert | One who has imagination without learning has wings without feet. | 122 |
| Orson Scott Card | Your work is first, learning is first, winning is everything because without it there is nothing. | 122 |
| Ray Charles | Learning to read music in Braille and play by ear helped me develop a damn good memory. | 122 |
| T. D. Jakes | I raised five children. They all have different personalities. All of them have different issues, different levels of success. That was a learning experience for me. | 122 |
| Bat for Lashes | When I was writing my dissertation, I wrote about Freud and the process of sublimation, which is when you learn to stop breast-feeding, or stop going to the toilet whenever you want to. It's about learning to repress a desire for instant gratification. | 122 |
| Christina Ricci | I think people are learning to actually aspire to be objectified. | 122 |
| Peter Drucker | We now accept the fact that learning is a lifelong process of keeping abreast of change. And the most pressing task is to teach people how to learn. | 123 |
| Audre Lorde | Only by learning to live in harmony with your contradictions can you keep it all afloat. | 123 |
| Robert Baden-Powell | It always seems to me so odd that when a man dies, he takes out with him all the knowledge that he has got in his lifetime whilst sowing his wild oats or winning successes. And he leaves his sons or younger brothers to go through all the work of learning it over again from their own experience. | 123 |
| Daisaku Ikeda | A commitment to human rights cannot be fostered simply through the transmission of knowledge. Action and experience play a crucial role in the learning process. | 123 |
| E. O. Wilson | So in my freshman year at the University of Alabama, learning the literature on evolution, what was known about it biologically, just gradually transformed me by taking me out of literalism and increasingly into a more secular, scientific view of the world. | 123 |
| Edsger Dijkstra | Perfecting oneself is as much unlearning as it is learning. | 123 |
| Helen Mirren | The trick in life is learning how to deal with it. | 123 |
| Jim Carrey | Desperation is a necessary ingredient to learning anything, or creating anything. Period. If you ain't desperate at some point, you ain't interesting. | 123 |
| Carl Honore | I've teamed up with one of the headmasters at Eton College, and we're spearheading a kind of 'slow education movement in Britain'. It's based on this idea of moving away from the fast-food approach to learning and going to something deeper, more woolly, harder to measure. | 123 |
| Randeep Hooda | I don't regret doing any of my films. All of them have been great learning experiences, and they have contributed to making me what I am today. | 123 |
| Bruce Lee | To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person. | 124 |
| Steve Martin | I did stand-up comedy for 18 years. Ten of those years were spent learning, four years were spent refining, and four years were spent in wild success. I was seeking comic originality, and fame fell on me as a byproduct. The course was more plodding than heroic. | 124 |
| Will Smith | The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school. | 124 |
| David Perlmutter | Children need to be exploring their physical world. They need to be learning the fundamental laws of physics by manipulating objects. | 124 |
| Martin Seligman | One of my signature strengths is the love of learning, and by teaching, I have built it into the fabric of my life. I try to do some of it every day. | 124 |

| Satya Nadella | It's not about the failure, it's about learning from the failures. Failure itself cannot be celebrated. | 124 |
| Tom Brokaw | I started writing a journal, and I was learning so much along the way. How to deal with your family, how to deal with your friends. | 124 |
| George Bernard Shaw | If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience. | 125 |
| Jeff Bezos | There are two ways to extend a business. Take inventory of what you're good at and extend out from your skills. Or determine what your customers need and work backward, even if it requires learning new skills. Kindle is an example of working backward. | 125 |
| Edward Gibbon | Unprovided with original learning, unformed in the habits of thinking, unskilled in the arts of composition, I resolved to write a book. | 125 |
| Emile Durkheim | Man seeks to learn, and man kills himself because of the loss of cohesion in his religious society; he does not kill himself because of his learning. It is certainly not the learning he acquires that disorganizes religion; but the desire for knowledge wakens because religion becomes disorganized. | 125 |
| Rebecca MacKinnon | Whether or not Americans supported George W. Bush, they could not avoid learning about Abu Ghraib. | 125 |

| Ashwin Sanghi | There is a method to the madness of James Patterson's success. Co-writing with him is a terrific learning experience, particularly in the art of crafting a perfect thriller. The collaboration also gives me an opportunity to access a wider global audience. | 125 |
| Arnold Schwarzenegger | What we face may look insurmountable. But I learned something from all those years of training and competing. I learned something from all those sets and reps when I didn't think I could lift another ounce of weight. What I learned is that we are always stronger than we know. | 126 |
| Leo Buscaglia | The minute we stop learning, we begin death, the process of dying. We learn from each other with every action we perform. We are teaching goodness or evil every time we step out of the house and into the street. | 126 |
| Norman Vincent Peale | It is of practical value to learn to like yourself. Since you must spend so much time with yourself you might as well get some satisfaction out of the relationship. | 126 |
| Wayne Dyer | Deficiency motivation doesn't work. It will lead to a life-long pursuit of try to fix me. Learn to appreciate what you have and where and who you are. | 126 |
| W. Edwards Deming | I am forever learning and changing. | 126 |
| Ayrton Senna | I continuously go further and further learning about my own limitations, my body limitation, psychological limitations. It's a way of life for me. | 126 |
| Bill Nye | If you're an adult and you choose not to believe in science, fine, but please don't prevent your children from learning about it and letting them draw their own conclusions. | 126 |

| Thomas Merton | The least of the work of learning is done in the classroom. | 201 |
| Christina Aguilera | I look back at the looks I've had over the years. I'm proud of myself that I had the courage to experiment with crazy hairstyles and some fashion things. Would I do it again? No. But that's part of the learning process and getting from point A to point B. | 201 |
| Edward Young | Much learning shows how little mortals know; much wealth, how little wordings enjoy. | 201 |

| Kate Winslet | I hope I'm always learning something. | 201 |
| Mortimer Adler | The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as we continue to live. | 201 |
| Nate Silver | We're not that much smarter than we used to be, even though we have much more information - and that means the real skill now is learning how to pick out the useful information from all this noise. | 201 |
| Penelope Cruz | You can always keep learning with acting, because the school is life and yourself and your friends and your relationships. I'm fascinated by it! It's infinito! | 201 |
| Queen Latifah | The objectification of females is not a good thing! Not every rapper does this, but when the lyrics focus solely on the strip club, 'poppin' bottles' and how many girls they can 'tap,' it distorts what kids are learning. I think if there was more of a female presence in hip hop we could break up the monotony. It's all about balance. | 201 |
| Warren Bennis | Learning in a face-to-face human community, as humans have evolved to do over hundreds of thousands of years, may always be the ideal - especially in an endeavor that is as relationship-driven as business. | 201 |
| Jeb Bush | Public education must be viewed from the lens of providing each child with the learning environment that best meets his or her needs. If we can send a low-income child to a parochial school, knowing that his odds of attending college will increase as a result, then that should be our mission. | 201 |
| Matisyahu | Every record I do is a learning process for how I want to do the next one. | 201 |
| Richard Lamm | A Confucian or Jewish love of learning would gain minorities far more than any affirmative action laws we might pass. | 201 |

| Ambrose Bierce | Learning, n. The kind of ignorance distinguishing the studious. | 202 |
| Emma Watson | As a child, I loved being onstage. I loved singing, I loved the lights, I loved the adrenaline. I even loved learning lines. I was completely obsessive. | 202 |
| Mignon McLaughlin | Learning too soon our limitations, we never learn our powers. | 202 |
| Washington Irving | One of the greatest and simplest tools for learning more and growing is doing more. | 202 |

| Donald Rumsfeld | Secretary Powell and I agree on every single issue that has ever been before this administration except for those instances where Colin's still learning. | 203 |
| Theodore Roosevelt | Every immigrant who comes here should be required within five years to learn English or leave the country. | 204 |

| Luke Bryan | Early in my songwriting career, when I was learning a lot about writing songs, I'd force myself to sit down until I came up with something. | 204 |

| Arthur Schopenhauer | Patriotism, when it wants to make itself felt in the domain of learning, is a dirty fellow who should be thrown out of doors. | 205 |
| John D. Rockefeller | And we are never too old to study the Bible. Each time the lessons are studied comes some new meaning, some new thought which will make us better. | 205 |
| Michel de Montaigne | Even from their infancy we frame them to the sports of love: their instruction, behavior, attire, grace, learning and all their words azimuth only at love, respects only affection. Their nurses and their keepers imprint no other thing in them. | 205 |
| Beth Ditto | I have no control over what people think of me but I have 100% control of what I think of myself, and that is so important. And not just about your body, but so many ways of confidence. You're constantly learning how to be confident, aren't you? | 205 |
| Daniel Goleman | Emotional 'literacy' implies an expanded responsibility for schools in helping to socialize children. This daunting task requires two major changes: that teachers go beyond their traditional mission and that people in the community become more involved with schools as both active participants in children's learning and as individual mentors. | 205 |
| Lauren Bacall | I've always felt that work - learning from people who know more than I know - is what keeps you going. | 205 |
| Sebastian Thrun | The individualization of learning fundamentally redefines the role of assessment. | 205 |

| Joyce Meyer | Stay active. Read the Word. Worship with other believers. Continue to give. Keep learning and growing. Your faith will be unleashed! | 206 |
| Adam Sandler | It definitely has learning a lesson about the way you're living your life. I wouldn't compare our movie to that, but it has a structure where it's about a man who doesn't appreciate all that he has and finds out at the end that life has been great and he has to enjoy that. | 206 |
| Emma Stone | There's so much I'm interested in that I didn't discover in high school. For 'The Amazing Spider-Man', because Gwen is a scientist, we went to a lab in San Diego, and we were learning about biology. And I'm fascinated! Because I never went to biology class in high school. | 206 |
| John Mayer | I've figured out my learning curve. I can look at something and somehow know exactly how long it will take for me to learn it. | 206 |
| Josh Billings | Learning sleeps and snores in libraries, but wisdom is everywhere, wide awake, on tiptoe. | 206 |
| Sophia Bush | I was a total education geek. I loved school. I loved learning. I loved doing homework. All of my books and notebooks from high school are underlined and highlighted and there are notes all over the margins. And you know, I was a theater kid too. I was all over the place. | 206 |
| Temple Grandin | The thing about being autistic is that you gradually get less and less autistic, because you keep learning, you keep learning how to behave. It's like being in a play; I'm always in a play. | 206 |
| Umberto Eco | Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth. | 206 |
| J. K. Rowling | I think you're working and learning until you die. | 207 |
| Cher | I'm learning English at the moment. I can say 'Big Ben', 'Hello Rodney', 'Tower Bridge' and 'Loo'. | 207 |

| Tina Fey | If you want to be a screenwriter, take an acting class to get a sense of what you're asking actors to do. Learning other skills will help you communicate with people and respect what they do. | 207 |
| John Ortberg | This much I have learned: human beings come with very different sets of wiring, different interests, different temperaments, different learning styles, different gifts, different temptations. These differences are tremendously important in the spiritual formation of human beings. | 207 |
| Douglas Adams | The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss. | 208 |
| John Wooden | If I am through learning, I am through. | 208 |
| Zora Neale Hurston | Research is formalized curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose. | 208 |
| Sharon Stone | TV is so different from the movies. It takes a lot of stamina because you work such long hours. It is really challenging. You are learning the next day's lines while you are shooting today's scenes. I found courage I never realised I had. I hope to do more. | 208 |
| Jeffrey Kluger | The mind of the polyglot is a very particular thing, and scientists are only beginning to look closely at how acquiring a second language influences learning, behavior and the very structure of the brain itself. | 208 |
| Albert Einstein | If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it? | 209 |
| Ayn Rand | When man learns to understand and control his own behavior as well as he is learning to understand and control the behavior of crop plants and domestic animals, he may be justified in believing that he has become civilized. | 209 |
| Charles Duhigg | A huge amount of success in life comes from learning as a child how to make good habits. It's good to help kids understand that when they do certain things habitually, they're reinforcing patterns. | 209 |
| Douglas Rushkoff | While learning to code may have once been an arduous or expensive process, the college dropouts who developed Codecademy have democratized coding as surely as Gutenberg democratized text. Anyone can go to Codecademy and start learning and creating code through their simple, fun, interactive window, for free. | 209 |
| Herman Hesse | There is, so I believe, in the essence of everything, something that we cannot call learning. There is, my friend, only a knowledge - that is everywhere. | 209 |

| Victoria Osteen | You may have made some mistakes, but just like a parent helps their child when they are learning to walk, God will help you get right back up anytime you fall. | 210 |
| Henri Nouwen | Waiting is a period of learning. The longer we wait, the more we hear about him for whom we are waiting. | 210 |

| Harry S Truman | The only things worth learning are the things you learn after you know it all. | 211 |

| Oprah Winfrey | I am a woman in process. I'm just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull. | 211 |
| Jonathan Kozol | No Child Left Behind's fourth-grade gains aren't learning gains, they're testing gains. That's why they don't last. The law is a distraction from things that really count. | 211 |
| Donald Trump | I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. That's where the fun is. | 212 |
| Andy Warhol | People need to be made more aware of the need to work at learning how to live because life is so quick and sometimes it goes away too quickly. | 212 |
| Leo Buscaglia | I have been a teacher myself all my life. I have an intense passion to share with people. Our only salvation is in knowledge, in learning. | 212 |
| Dennis Prager | Our only hope for America is that every conservative takes upon him or herself the project of learning what American and conservative values are, coming to understand what leftism stands for, and learning how to make the case for those values to women, young people, blacks and Hispanics. | 212 |
| George Lucas | Learning to make films is very easy. Learning what to make films about is very hard. | 212 |
| Katrina Kaif | Learning what all you can overcome as a person, as a human being, is very important. It's very important to understand your strength. Which is not to say you become hardened or bitter. | 212 |
| Jose Andres | I've been a cook all my life, but I am still learning to be a good chef. I'm always learning new techniques and improving beyond my own knowledge because there is always something new to learn and new horizons to discover. | 212 |
| Hunter S. Thompson | As long as I'm learning something, I figure I'm OK - it's a decent day. | 213 |
| Tony Robbins | The truth is that we can learn to condition our minds, bodies, and emotions to link pain or pleasure to whatever we choose. By changing what we link pain and pleasure to, we will instantly change our behaviors. | 213 |
| Richard Bach | There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they're necessary to reach the places we've chosen to go. | 213 |
| Gordon B. Hinckley | Knowledge, learning, is an eternal thing. | 213 |
| Joseph Addison | Irregularity and want of method are only supportable in men of great learning or genius, who are often too full to be exact, and therefore they choose to throw down their pearls in heaps before the reader, rather than be at the pains of stringing them. | 213 |
| William Penn | Some are so very studious of learning what was done by the ancients that they know not how to live with the moderns. | 213 |

| Ellen DeGeneres | I'd like to be more patient! I just want everything now. I've tried to meditate, but it's really hard for me to stay still. I'd like to try to force myself to do it, because everybody says how wonderful meditation is for you, but I can't shut my mind up. So patience and learning is the key. | 215 |
| Richard Bach | You teach best what you most need to learn. | 215 |
| Helen Mirren | Gardening is learning, learning, learning. That's the fun of them. You're always learning. | 215 |

| Richard Bach | Learning is finding out what you already know. | 217 |
| Katy Perry | People always ask me, 'What is it that you regret?' And I say, 'nothing, because I could not buy what I've learned.' And I apply those things to my life I learn. And hopefully, hopefully it helps me to be a better human in the future and make better choices. | 217 |
| Robin Williams | I started doing comedy because that was the only stage that I could find. It was the pure idea of being on stage. That was the only thing that interested me, along with learning the craft and working, and just being in productions with people. | 218 |
| Charles Stanley | An unschooled man who knows how to meditate upon the Lord has learned far more than the man with the highest education who does not know how to meditate. | 218 |

| Vince Lombardi | Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit. | 219 |
| Jesse Jackson | We must all learn a good lesson - how to live together. That is the new challenge of the new world... learning to co-exist and not co-annihilate. | 219 |
| Denis Waitley | Never become so much of an expert that you stop gaining expertise. View life as a continuous learning experience. | 221 |

| Selena Gomez | I'm learning that you can be comfortable and still look beautiful. | 221 |
| Carrie Underwood | I think after coming off of 'American Idol'... people kind of expect you to just be awesome all the time, and we're still learning. I had a lot of stage experience, but it was in a 200-seat theater, you know - it wasn't thousands of people in front of me. | 223 |
| W. E. B. Du Bois | Before and after emancipation, the Negro, in self-defense, was propelled toward the white employer. The endowments of wealthy white men have developed great institutions of learning for the Negro, but the freedom of action on the part of these same universities has been curtailed in proportion as they are indebted to white philanthropies. | 224 |
| Walt Whitman | Have you learned the lessons only of those who admired you, and were tender with you, and stood aside for you? Have you not learned great lessons from those who braced themselves against you, and disputed passage with you? | 224 |
| Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield | Wear your learning like your watch, in a private pocket; and do not pull it out, and strike it, merely to show that you have one. | 224 |
| Confucius | Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous. | 225 |
| Drew Barrymore | It's only through listening that you learn, and I never want to stop learning. | 225 |
| Henry B. Eyring | If we continue to seek learning to serve God and His children better, it is a blessing of great worth. If we begin to seek learning to exalt ourselves alone, it leads to selfishness and pride, which will take us away from eternal life. | 225 |
| W. E. B. Du Bois | There was not a single Negro slave owner who did not know dozens of Negroes just as capable of learning and efficiency as the mass of poor white people around and about, and some quite as capable as the average slaveholder.

| Brian Eno | I had a lot of trouble with engineers, because their whole background is learning from a functional point of view, and then learning how to perform that function. | 303 |
| Plato | Entire ignorance is not so terrible or extreme an evil, and is far from being the greatest of all; too much cleverness and too much learning, accompanied with ill bringing-up, are far more fatal. | 304 |

| Lyndon B. Johnson | You aren't learning anything when you're talking. | 305 |
| Seth Shostak | It's hard to imagine anything more interesting than learning how we're woven into the enormous tapestry of existence. Where did our universe come from?

| Will Rogers | Instead of giving money to found colleges to promote learning, why don't they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as good as the Prohibition one did, why, in five years we would have the smartest race of people on earth. | 307 |
| Albert Camus | The only real progress lies in learning to be wrong all alone. | 309 |
| Joseph B. Wirthlin | We should always be learning. However, we must be careful not to set aside our faith in the process, because faith actually enhances our ability to learn. | 309 |

| Arthur Schopenhauer | The fundament upon which all our knowledge and learning rests is the inexplicable. | 314 |
| Emma Watson | I'm not going to school just for the academics - I wanted to share ideas, to be around people who are passionate about learning. | 314 |

| Carine Roitfeld | You discover yourself through the research of your work. | 317 |
| Wayne Dyer | Fear is present when we forget that we are a part of God's divine design. Learning to experience authentic love means abandoning ego's insistence that you have much to fear and that you are in an unfriendly world. You can make the decision to be free from fear and doubt and return to the brilliant light of love that is always with you. | 319 |
| Joyce Meyer | Many people feel so pressured by the expectations of others that it causes them to be frustrated, miserable and confused about what they should do.

| Thomas Jefferson | Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation, which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning. | 321 |

| Khalil Gibran | The person you consider ignorant and insignificant is the one who came from God, that he might learn bliss from grief and knowledge from gloom. | 324 |
| Steven Pinker | There has to be innate circuitry that does the learning, that creates the culture, that acquires the culture, and that responds to socialization. | 325 |
| Simon Sinek | It is only from the people I've had the good fortune to meet that I am learning the lessons to guide me. Baz Luhrmann, director of 'Moulin Rouge,' for example, has a childlike curiosity about the world. He doesn't pretend to know all the answers - quite the opposite, in fact. He asks loads of questions of everyone. | 402 |
| Albert Einstein | The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education. | 403 |
| Plato | We do not learn; and what we call learning is only a process of recollection. | 403 |
| Yoko Ono | The computer is my favourite invention. I feel lucky to be part of the global village. I don't mean to brag, but I'm so fast with technology. People think it all seems too much, but we'll get used to it. I'm sure it all seemed too much when we were learning to walk. | 404 |
| Plato | I would fain grow old learning many things. | 405 |
| Martha Beck | Getting bogged down in old stories stops the flow of learning by censoring our perceptions, making us functionally deaf and blind to new information. Once the replay button gets pushed, we no longer form new ideas or conclusions - the old ones are so cozy. | 405 |
| Eminem | A lot of the problems I had with fame I was bringing on myself. A lot of self-loathing, a lot of woe-is-me. Now I'm learning to see the positive side of things, instead of, like, 'I can't go to Kmart. I can't take my kids to the haunted house.' | 412 |
| Jackie Chan | When you are learning about a martial art, it is about respect. | 413 |
| Steve Jobs | Each year has been so robust with problems and successes and learning experiences and human experienes that a year is a lifetime at Apple. So this has been ten lifetimes. | 414 |
| Henry David Thoreau | Men have a respect for scholarship and learning greatly out of proportion to the use they commonly serve. | 416 |

| Plato | The learning and knowledge that we have, is, at the most, but little compared with that of which we are ignorant. | 420 |
| P. J. O'Rourke | I like to think of my behavior in the sixties as a 'learning experience.' Then again, I like to think of anything stupid I've done as a 'learning experience.' It makes me feel less stupid. | 421 |
| Benjamin Disraeli | A University should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning. | 425 |
| David Bowie | Everything I read about hitting a midlife crisis was true. I had such a struggle letting go of youthful things and learning how to exist and have enthusiasm while settling into the comfort of an older age. | 505 |

| Ralph Waldo Emerson | Some books leave us free and some books make us free. | 805 |
| Henry David Thoreau | It is only when we forget all our learning that we begin to know. | 809 |
