If you hold a cat by the tail you learn things you cannot learn any other way.

When you make a mistake, there are only three things you should ever do about it: admit it, learn from it, and don’t repeat it.
~Paul Bear Bryant

~

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. And why old persons, especially if vain or important, cannot learn at all.
~Thomas Szasz

You can learn new things at any time in your life if you’re willing to be a beginner. If you actually learn to like being a beginner, the whole world opens up to you.

Learning something new means you have to abandon, for a little while at least, the familiar and comforting. I happen to like this feeling. I remind myself that tomorrow, I will be someone who didn’t exist yesterday.
~Nick Stone

You make your mistakes to learn how to get to the good stuff.

Losers live in the past. Winners learn from the past and enjoy working in the present toward the future… Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future, and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now.
~Denis Waitley

Usually we are not happy when we find doing whatever it is that we think we have to do. Doing creates expectations that your world and the people around you may or may not fit. The things we do disappear in time. We must learn to appreciate just being alive in the nowness of whatever situation we are in.
~Ken Keyes Jr

Let us learn to appreciate there will be times when the trees will be bare, and look forward to the time when we may pick the fruit.
~Anton Chekhov

It is through suffering that learning comes.

I think our life is a journey, and we make mistakes, and it’s how we learn from those mistakes and rebound from those mistakes that sets us on the path that we’re meant to be on.

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.
~Plutarch

Everyone makes mistakes in life, but that doesn’t mean they have to pay for them for the rest of their life. Sometimes good people make bad choices; it doesn’t mean they are bad. It means they are human.
~author unknown

~

A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we don’t know ourselves! Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an ox’s or bear’s, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.
~Meister Eckhart

I think we all wish we could erase some dark times in our lives. But all of life’s experiences, bad and good, make you who you are. Erasing any of life’s experiences would be a great mistake.
~Luis Miguel

Only by joy and sorrow does a person know anything about themselves and their destiny. They learn what to do and what to avoid.

~Dick Van Dyke

~

A man sentenced to death obtained a reprieve by assuring the king he would teach his majesty’s horse to fly within the year ‒ on the condition that if he didn’t succeed, he would be put to death at the end of the year. “Within a year,” the man explained later, “the king may die, or I may die, or the horse may die. Furthermore, in a year, who knows? Maybe the horse will learn to fly.” My philosophy is like that man’s. I take the long-range view.
~Bernard Baruch

Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future,and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now.

~Pema Chodron

~

Today’s events are tomorrow’s history, yet events seen by the naked eye lack the depth and breadth of human struggles, triumphs and suffering. Writing history is writing the soul of the past… so that the present generation may learn from past mistakes, be inspired by their ancestor’s sacrifices, and take responsibility for the future.
~Epifanio de los Santos (historian)

~

Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.
~Mahatma Gandhi

We cannot change the past, only recover from it. And perhaps learn its cruel lessons.
~Dan Pena

If you read enough biography and history, you learn how people have dealt successfully or unsuccessfully with similar situations or patterns in the past. It doesn’t give you a template of answers, but it does help you refine the questions you have to ask yourself.
~Jim Mattis

~

To learn something new, take the path that you took yesterday.
~John Burroughs

In order to improve the mind, we ought less to learn, than to contemplate.

Posted From The Grove

The secret of rulership is to combine a belief in one’s own infallibility with a power to learn from past mistakes.
~George Orwell

High office teaches decision making, not substance. It consumes intellectual capital; it does not create it. Most high officials leave office with the perceptions and insights with which they entered; they learn how to make decisions but not what decisions to make.
~Henry Kissinger

A man’s pride can be his downfall, and he needs to learn when to turn to others for support and guidance.
~Bear Grylls (adventurer)

People should debate. They shouldn’t be afraid to talk. You should listen to what other people think and how they make decisions. There should be an exchange of ideas and opinions because that’s how we learn.
~Catriona Gray

When there is much desire to learn, there of necessity will be much arguing, much writing, many opinions; for opinion in good men is but knowledge in the making.
~John Milton

~

I think segregation is bad, I think it’s wrong, it’s immoral. I’d fight against it with every breath in my body, but you don’t need to sit next to a white person to learn how to read and write. The NAACP needs to say that.
~Clarence Thomas

Blacks have had to learn to protect themselves by being cynical but not cynical enough to slam the door on potential opportunities. We go through life walking a tightrope to prevent too much disillusionment.

~Arthur Ashe

When you learn that a truth is a lie, anger follows.
~Grace Slick

Every single university student should study philosophy. You need to lead the examined life and question your beliefs. If you don’t learn critical thinking, then political debate degenerates into a contest of slogans.
~Martha Nussbaum

To us all, life is a gift, liberty is a right, and the pursuit of happiness is the object supreme. But our conduct in the pursuit differs in accordance with the measure of justice we uphold. A common measure is only possible when we begin to understand and learn to appreciate each other’s point of view and point of direction.
~Ameen Rihani

~

My people are going to learn the principles of democracy, the dictates of truth and the teachings of science. Superstition must go.

Learn to see yourself as Heavenly Father sees you ‒ as His precious daughter or son with divine potential.
~Dieter F Uchtdorf

We fear the arrival of immigrants that we have drawn here with the wealth we stole from them. For much of the rest of the world we must be the focus of bitter amusement, characters in a satire we don’t understand. It is British people that don’t learn languages, or British history. Britain is the true scrounger, the true criminal.
~Frankie Boyle

~

As soon as I arrived in the Indies, in the first island which I found, I took some of the natives by force, in order that they might learn and might give me information of whatever there is in these parts.

~James Allen

~Miguel Diaz-Canel

~

Most of those coming from the mainland are very destitute, almost naked.

People read the papers not in the hopes of learning something new, but in the expectation of being told what they already know. This is a form of living death.

~Roger Ebert

~Denis Waitley

Every project is an opportunity to learn, to figure out problems and challenges, to invent and reinvent.
~David Rockwell

You will learn more from your failures than your successes ‒ so embrace those mistakes, as difficult as that sounds, and grow from them.

~Lynda Resnick

We’ve all heard that we have to learn from our mistakes, but I think it’s more important to learn from successes. If you learn only from your mistakes, you are inclined to learn only errors.

But I kept at it with the help-wanted ads. My standards were sliding swiftly. At first I had insisted I would only work at a company with a mission I believed in. Then I thought maybe it would be fine as long as I was learning something new. After that I decided it just couldn’t be evil. Now I was carefully delineating my personal definition of evil.
~Robin Sloan

Wall Street people learn nothing and forget everything.
~Benjamin Graham

I’m often asked how to start investing with little or no money. Please hear this as this is the hardest thing for people to understand: you do NOT invest with money! You invest with your mind! No matter what the field, your biggest asset is your mind. Once you have knowledge, you find deals, find your team and use other people’s money. You sell the deal and your team to get investment money.
~Robert Kiyosaki

You learn in this business: It you want a friend, get a dog.
~Carl Icahn

If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity but you are not sure you can do it, say yes‒then learn how to do it later!

~Klaus Schwab

~

Anything that becomes an obstacle in life is only an opportunity to learn and it’s the same in any profession I think.

~Jack Canfield

As you begin to take action toward the fulfillment of your goals and dreams, you must realize that not every action will be perfect. Not every action will produce the desired result. Not every action will work. Making mistakes, getting it almost right, and experimenting to see what happens are all part of the process of eventually getting it right.
~Jack Canfield

~

I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.
~Thomas A Edison

We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.
~Samuel Smiles

We learn more by looking for the answer to a question and not finding it than we do from learning the answer itself.
~Lloyd Alexander

You should learn from your competitor, but never copy. Copy and you die.
~Jack Ma

Become an internationalist and learn to respect all life. Make war on machines. And in particular the sterile machines of corporate death and the robots that guard them.
~Abbie Hoffman

Your competition is not other people but the time you kill, the ill will you create, the knowledge you neglect to learn, the connections you fail to build, the health you sacrifice along the path, your inability to generate ideas, the people around you who don’t support and love your efforts, and whatever god you curse for your bad luck.
~James Altucher

~

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.
~Satya Nadella

Surround yourself with people you can always learn something from. Always work with people that are better at their craft than you are.
~Tony Vincent

Enjoy failure and learn from it. You can never learn from success.

It is also the fate of leadership to be misunderstood. It is a grave error for any leader to be oversensitive in the face of criticism, to conduct discussions as if he or she is a schoolmaster talking to less informed and inexperienced learners.
~Nelson Mandela

I think leadership is not something you learn; it’s something you discover.
~Myles Munroe

What is a college? An institute of learning. What is a business? An institute of learning. Life, itself, is an institute of learning.

Failure is good. It’s fertilizer. Everything I’ve learned about coaching, I’ve learned from making mistakes.

Not a week goes by without my learning something new about golf. That means, of course, that I was ignorant of eight things about golf two months ago. Extend that process back nearly twenty years and the result is an impressive accumulation of ignorance.

You should always want your coach to be critical. It gives you an opportunity to learn and to overcome adversity
~Steve Nash

I tell a student that the most important class you can take is technique. A great chef is first a great technician. ‘If you are a jeweler, or a surgeon or a cook, you have to know the trade in your hand. You have to learn the process. You learn it through endless repetition until it belongs to you.’
~Jacques Pepin

What we hope ever to do with ease, we must learn first to do with diligence.

~Jasprit Bumrah (cricket)

It hasn’t always been easy. There’s a lot of hard moments. Sometimes you learn from the end of the bench. Sometimes you learn from injuries. Sometimes you learn the most through the hard things. If you can keep a good attitude and keep on working, eventually situations change, and you can put those things to use.
~Kyle Korver (NBA)

The most beautiful experiences I’ve had climbing are when everything is simplified. Free soloing is the simplest thing, until you learn to fly or to walk on air ‒ which I feel is all possible.
~Dean Potter

Each day befriend a single fear, and the miscellaneous terrors of being human will never join together to form such a morass of vague anxiety that it rules your life from the shadows of the unconscious. We learn to fly not by being fearless, but by the daily practice of courage.
~Sam Keen

I was always afraid of dying. Always. It was my fear that made me learn everything I could about my airplane and my emergency equipment, and kept me flying respectful of my machine and always alert in the cockpit.
~Chuck Yeager (broke speed of sound barrier)

I started [flying] by being scared. When I was an amateur I played a couple tournaments and I had to fly, and got into weather and stuff, and it scared me, and I decided that would not work, I had to learn to fly, I had to find out about airplanes and aeronautical engineering and what it was all about.

~Dennis Rainey

Optimism is not the ability to live on the highest branch. It is the faith to learn to fly.
~Wes Fesler

Jonathan Livingston Seagull . . . was no ordinary bird. Most gulls don’t bother
to learn more than the simplest facts of flight how to get from shore to food and back again. For most gulls, it is not flying that matters, but eating. For this gull, though, it was not eating that mattered, but flight. More than anything else, Jonathan Livingston Seagull loved to fly.
~Richard Bach

You see, she was gonna be an actress and I was gonna learn to fly. She took off to find the footlights, and I took off for the sky. And here, she’s acting happy, inside her handsome home. And me, I’m flying in my taxi, taking tips, and getting stoned. I go flying so high, when I’m stoned.
~Harry Chapin

~

Once you have learned to fly your plane, it is far less fatiguing to fly than it is to drive a car. You don’t have to watch every second for cats, dogs, children, lights, road signs, ladies with baby carriages and citizens who drive out in the middle of the block against the lights. . . . Nobody who has not been up in the sky on a glorious morning can possibly imagine the way a pilot feels in free heaven.

§ VIDEO:

The camera does not like acting. The camera is only interested in filming behaviour. So you damn well learn your lines until you know them inside out, while standing on your head!
~Ben Kingsley

Every film you work on is different, and that’s part of what it’s like for anybody who works on a film, is to learn how to work with others. Learn from top to bottom. Actors have to learn how to work with the director and the director has to learn how to work with actors, and that’s not just those two departments.
~James Spader

Youth theatre isn’t just about a precocious child that wants to sing and dance in front of people. It’s for everyone; it’s about a community, it’s about being supported by your peer group. You learn skills ‒ not just acting but all the other sides ‒ working in the TV, film, and theatre industry.
~Sam Heughan

There are a lot of great actresses out there. You learn to appreciate each one for what they offer.
~Victoria Pratt

Ninety per cent of how you learn is watching great people. When you are surrounded by good actors it lifts your performance.

I learned playing cello in ‘Cantabile‘ and Go in ‘Reply 1988.’ In ‘Moonlight Drawn by Clouds,’ I learned horse riding and Geomungo. It’s fun to learn new things.

I danced a little as a kid here in Canada: in Ottawa at the Elite Dance Studio and at the Top Hat Dance School in Cornwall where I grew up. So I had some experience of having to learn routines.

As an actor, I think you can get really bad habits, if you do the same thing, every day. You can get stuck in a rut. So, I like jumping between genres, and then taking a break and learning something new. I like feeling like I’m still learning.
~Brie Larson

The value of work, and of always learning something new, and what it takes to achieve excellence. I really believe in those things that you have to dedicate yourself and spend time, that excellence is elusive. It’s a little maddening, to try to have that level of discipline in your life…
~Ben Affleck

As you grow in this business, you learn how to do more with less.
~Morgan Freeman

A director, I forget who, told me that it takes 30 years to make an actor. And I believe that. You have to learn your craft, learn your trade ‒ and also you have to live a life and experience things.

When you work in film, you learn to appreciate a distributor. You can have this great little film, but if you don’t have a distributor, you are sitting in your living room with a great little film.

When you work with your hands, you learn to appreciate how easy it is to earn money talking.
~Jay Leno

SuperMemo is based on the insight that there is an ideal moment to practice what you’ve learned. Practice too soon and you waste your time. Practice too late and you’ve forgotten the material and have to relearn it. The right time to practice is just at the moment you’re about to forget.
~Gary Wolf

You learn more about life from watching ‘Big Brother‘ than from reading a book.
~John de Mol, Jr

‘The Wizard of Oz‘ is my favourite. It explains what life on this planet is about. Although Dorothy reaches Oz, she finds she had what she needed to go back to Kansas all along, but the Good Witch tells her that she had to learn it for herself. All of the answers to the meaning of life are there.

A tough lesson in life that one has to learn is that not everybody wishes you well.

People can change, learn, and grow, and it’s better to face your demons instead of perpetually running away from them.
~Jessica Rothe

A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we don’t know ourselves! Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an ox’s or bear’s, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.
~Meister Eckhart

I must learn to love the fool in me ‒ the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries.
~Theodore Isaac Rubin

Life experiences can, at times, be quite humbling, but you learn from them. But I like the changes in my life and what kind of person they’ve made me into. I’m very open, not as judgmental as I was in my twenties, and a lot more compassionate.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
~Scott Adams

~

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.
~George Bernard Shaw

Creativity itself doesn’t care at all about results ‒ the only thing it craves is the process. Learn to love the process and let whatever happens next happen, without fussing too much about it. Work like a monk, or a mule, or some other representative metaphor for diligence. Love the work. Destiny will do what it wants with you, regardless.
~Elizabeth Gilbert

Be aware of wonder. Live a balanced life ‒ learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.

Even without success, creative persons find joy in a job well done. Learning for its own sake is rewarding.
~Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

I don’t think there’s any such thing as teaching people photography, other than influencing them a little. People have to be their own learners. They have to have a certain talent.
~Imogen Cunningham

Once the amateur’s naive approach and humble willingness to learn fades away, the creative spirit of good photography dies with it. Every professional should remain always in his heart an amateur.
~Alfred Eisenstaedt

The most important thing you learn as a sports photographer is anticipation ‒ not where the action is taking place, but where it’s going to take place. Not where the subject is now, but where they’re going to be.
~Lawrence Schiller

I found that the camera was a comforting companion. It opened up new worlds, and gave me access to people’s most intimate moments. I discovered the privilege of seeing life in all its complexity, the thrill of learning something new every day. When I was behind a camera, it was the only place in the world I wanted to be.
~Lynsey Addario

~

It is good to learn from the ancients. I’m a bit of an ancient myself. They had a lot of time to think about architecture and landscape.
~I M Pei

Once you learn to look at architecture not merely as an art more or less well or more or less badly done, but as a social manifestation, the critical eye becomes clairvoyant.
~Louis Sullivan

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.

Recipes tell you nothing. Learning techniques is the key.

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.

I sometimes find that in interviews you learn more about yourself than the person learned about you.

If a child lives with criticism… he learns to condemn.
If he lives with hostility… he learns to fight.
If he lives with ridicule… he learns to be shy.

If he lives with praise… he learns to appreciate.
If he lives with fairness… he learns about justice

Adolescents are not monsters. They are just people trying to learn how to make it among the adults in the world, who are probably not so sure themselves.

When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.

The day the child realizes that all adults are imperfect, he becomes an adolescent; the day he forgives them, he becomes an adult; the day he forgives himself, he becomes wise.

Never give up, which is the lesson I learned from boxing. As soon as you learn to never give up, you have to learn the power and wisdom of unconditional surrender, and that one doesn’t cancel out the other; they just exist as contradictions. The wisdom of it comes as you get older.
~Kris Kristofferson

Strangely enough, politics may just be the one realm in which having kids imposes no penalty on women. Kids are practically a necessity. For scientists, or Supreme Court justices, or chief executives, or the woman who wants to learn to fly F-l8s off an aircraft carrier, it works differently.

Until you destroy your body, you don’t learn to appreciate it. Treat the body like a temple because the body is so beautiful. If and when you understand your body then you will respect it.

Even though you may want to move forward in your life, you may have one foot on the brakes. In order to be free, we must learn how to let go. Release the hurt. Release the fear.

~Taylor Swift

You gotta question the purpose you serve for those who invite themselves into your life. Learn who you are and always question the motive. No one knows you the way you do.
~Brent Faiyaz

Simple and more frequent dates allow both men and women to ‘shop around’ in a way that allows extensive evaluation of the prospects. The old-fashioned date was a wonderful way to get acquainted with a member of the opposite sex. It encouraged conversation. It allowed you to see how you treat others and how you are treated in a one-on-one situation. It gave opportunities to learn how to initiate and sustain a mature relationship. None of that happens in hanging out
~Dallin H Oaks

There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. That magnet is unselfishness, thinking of others first; when you learn to live for others, they will live for you.

Every man should make his son or daughter learn some useful trade or profession, so that in these days of changing fortunes of being rich today and poor tomorrow they may have something tangible to fall back upon.

~Glenn Doman

If we taught babies to talk as most skills are taught in school, they would memorize lists of sounds in a predetermined order and practice them alone in a closet.
~Linda Darling-Hammond

Teenagers learn best by doing things, they learn best in teams and they learn best by doing things for real ‒ all the opposite of what mainstream schooling actually does.

A love of learning has a lot to do with learning that we’re loved.
~Fred Rogers

Children who are respected learn respect. Children who are cared for learn to care for those weaker than themselves. Children who are loved for what they are cannot learn intolerance.

Children learn more from what you are than what you teach.
~W E B Du Bois

Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.

We look at science as something very elite, which only a few people can learn. That’s just not true. You just have to start early and give kids a foundation. Kids live up, or down, to expectations.

When you look at death, it makes you understand the importance of the moment when you have life and death in front of you, and you witness seeing someone deteriorating in front of you ‒ it’s an overwhelming experience. If you don’t learn from that, I don’t know what else you’re gonna learn.
~Mickalene Thomas

I learned that, with grief, you have to take it one day at a time and learn how to find the happiness amid the heartbreak.
~Adrienne C Moore

Grief is never something you get over. You don’t wake up one morning and say, ‘I’ve conquered that; now I’m moving on.’ It’s something that walks beside you every day. And if you can learn how to manage it and honour the person that you miss, you can take something that is incredibly sad and have some form of positivity.
~Terri Irwin

While therefore your tears flow… take the bitter cup with both hands and sit down to your repast. You will soon learn a secret: that there is sweetness at the bottom.
~Adoniram Judson

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.
~Carl Sagan

To suspect your own mortality is to know the beginning of terror, to learn irrefutably that you are mortal is to know the end of terror.
~Frank Herbert

At the end of your life, it’s friendships, emotions and thoughts that you take with you, rather than what’s in your bank account. So, even though people don’t have a lot here, they are a lot richer in many ways and we can learn from that.
~Sebastian Vettel

I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma.

The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change.
~Carl Rogers

In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists.
~Eric Hoffer

The essence of learning is the ability to manage change by changing yourself.
~Arie de Geus

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.
~Peter Drucker

Change is the end result of all true learning.
~Leo Buscaglia

~

Knowledge is more a matter of learning than of the exercise of absolute judgment. Learning requires time, and in time the situation dealt with, as well as the learner, undergoes change.
~Frank Knight

When you make a ‘mistake’, don’t look back at it long. Take the reason of the thing into your mind and then look forward. ‘Mistakes’ are lessons of wisdom. The past cannot be changed. The future is yet in your power.

Too many people are too lazy to think. Instead of learning something new, they think the same thought day in day out.

From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot before the other. But when books are opened you discover that you have wings.
~Helen Hayes

It seems to me that the dedication of a library is an act of faith. To bring together the resources of the past and to house them in buildings where they will be preserved for the use of men and women in the future, a nation must believe in three things. It must believe in the past. it must believe in the future. It must, above all, believe in the capacity of its own people so to learn from the past that they can gain in judgment in creating their own future.
~Franklin D Roosevelt

There’s nothing tiny or insignificant. Everything is significant. And everything flows on the same basis of Laws. Whether you are looking at world events or something that’s happening in your kitchen drawer, broad and important, or narrow and seemingly insignificant, there’s potential for connection or disconnection in either case. And it is only the connection or the disconnection that is of really any importance.
~Esther Hicks

To explain too much is to steal a person’s opportunity to learn, and stealing is against the Law.

All of us learn to write in the second grade. Most of us go on to greater things.
~Bobby Knight

I read widely, not in order to copy someone else’s style, but to learn to appreciate and recognize good writing and to see how the best writers have achieved their result. Poor writing is, unfortunately, infectious and should be avoided.
~P D James

Learn as much as you can. Take every opportunity to learn about writing, whether it’s through classes, workshops, whatever is available to you. This may be difficult, because things like classes, workshops, writing programs, require time and money. But I say this honestly and somewhat harshly – if you’re not willing to prioritize your writing, perhaps you should do something else?

School, I never truly got the knack of. I could never focus on things I didn’t want to learn. Math is just the worst. To this day, I can’t concentrate on it. People always say, ‘You should have tried harder.’ But actually, I cheated a lot because I could not sit and do homework.
~Leonardo DiCaprio

Cheating in school is a form of self-deception. We go to school to learn. We cheat ourselves when we coast on the efforts and scholarship of someone else.
~James E Faust

The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school.
~Will Smith

I was never capable of being an average pupil. I would either seem refractory to any teaching and give the impression of being completely dumb or I would fling myself on my work with a frenzy, a patience, and a willingness to learn that astonished everybody. But to awaken my zeal, it was necessary to offer me something I liked. Once my appetite had been whetted, I became ravenously hungry.

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.

Someone has said,”Education is going from an unconscious to conscious awareness of one’s ignorance.”..No one has a corner on wisdom.

What a dissimilarity we see in walking, swimming, and flying. And yet it is one and the same motion: it is just that the load-bearing capacity of the earth differs from that of the water, and that that of the water differs from that of the air! Thus we should also learn to fly as thinkers–and not imagine that we are thereby becoming idle dreamers!
~Friedrich Nietzsche~

We must dare to think ‘unthinkable’ thoughts. We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us in a complex and rapidly changing world.
~J William Fulbright

~

It’s strange that in an age when we pride ourselves on our independence of thought we meekly submit without further question to the declaration of a clearly unbalanced nineteenth century philosopher that God is dead! That’s cheeky, of course ‒ and one rarely comes away from reading Nietzsche without learning something new and significant. He’s certainly FAR more unsettling for faith than any contemporary atheist I know of.
~George Pattison

Read as much as you can, discarding negative or disturbing information. Learn by doing, and the Goddess and God will bless you with all that you truly need.
~Scott Cunningham

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.
~Karen Armstrong

~

You hear a lot about God these days: God, the beneficent; God, the all-great; God, the Almighty; God, the most powerful; God, the giver of life; God, the creator of death. I mean, we’re hearing about God all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God, God is arbitrary.
~Bob Dylan

The Scriptures contain many stories of people who waited years or even decades before the Lord’s promises came to pass. What modern believers can learn from the patience of biblical saints like Abraham, Joseph, David, and Paul is that waiting upon the Lord has eternal rewards.
~Charles Stanley

I read novels but I also read the Bible. And study it, you know? And the more I learn, the more excited I get.
~Johnny Cash

~

Each one of us decides to incarnate upon this planet at a particular point in time and space. We have chosen to come here to learn a particular lesson that will advance us upon our spiritual, evolutionary pathway.
~Louise L Hay

I have no quarrel with what I learned in the Presbyterian church ‒ I am still an enthusiastic Christian. But why shouldn’t I try to learn more? Why shouldn’t I go to Hindu services? Why shouldn’t I go to Muslim services? If you are not egotistical, you will welcome the opportunity to learn more.
~John Templeton

I was born Jewish, and I consider that my religion. But I’ve studied all religions, and as you learn more, you really learn that everyone’s praying to the same God.
~Goldie Hawn

~

When you live with the Devil you learn there’s a God very quickly.
~Sinead O’Connor

~

The Christian who desires to follow Jesus carrying his cross must bear in mind that the name “Christian” means “learner or imitator of Christ” and that if he wishes to bear that noble title worthily he must above all do as Christ charges us in the Gospel: We must oppose or deny ourselves, take up the cross, and follow him.
~Anthony Mary Claret

Tests and trials are given to all of us. These mortal challenges allow us and our Heavenly Father to see whether we will exercise our agency to follow His Son. He already knows, and we have the opportunity to learn, that no matter how difficult our circumstances, all these things shall be for our experience, and our good.
~Robert D Hales

~

If we are looking for God or an opportunity to learn and enrich our lives in every situation, we will find that, but if we are looking for how am I enjoying or suffering, we are subject to endless frustration
~Radhanath Swami

The life ahead can only be glorious if you learn to live in total harmony with the Lord.
~Sai Baba

~

A teachable spirit and a humbleness to admit your ignorance or your mistake will save you a lot of pain. However, if you’re a person who knows it all, then you’ve got a lot of heavy-hearted experiences coming your way. God can correct mistakes and turn things around. But why live your life in recovery mode?
~Ron Carpenter Jr

God has his plans and his reasons. Sometimes we are supposed to go through things so that we learn lessons.
~Dolly Parton

…that though we are to live forever we may be continually amused and delighted with learning something new.
~Benjamin Franklin

I’m convinced that there is nothing that can happen to me in this life that is not precisely designed by a sovereign Lord to give me the opportunity to learn to know Him.
~Elisabeth Elliot

Every day is a gift from God. Learn to focus on the Giver and enjoy the gift!
~Joyce Meyer

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.
~Leo Buscaglia

Being deeply contented with God in my everyday life is a focused attitude. It is always available. It means practicing letting go of my obsession with how I’m doing. It means training myself to learn to actually be present with people, and seeking to love them.
~John Ortberg

~

I believe that a trusting attitude and a patient attitude go hand in hand. You see, when you let go and learn to trust God, it releases joy in your life. And when you trust God, you’re able to be more patient. Patience is not just about waiting for something… it’s about how you wait, or your attitude while waiting.
~Joyce Meyer

I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature.
~Paulo Coelho

We have much to learn by studying nature and taking the time to tease out its secrets.
~David Suzuki

Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.
~John Lubbock

Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God.
~George Washington Carver

You will find something more in woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never learn from masters.
~Saint Bernard

Study how water flows in a valley stream, smoothly and freely between the rocks. Also learn from holy books and wise people. Everything ‒ even mountains, rivers, plants and trees ‒ should be your teacher.
~Morihei Ueshiba

~

We should preserve every scrap of biodiversity as priceless while we learn to use it and come to understand what it means to humanity.
~E O Wilson

First we must learn to love nature. Then comes conservation.
~Tamilisai Soundararajan

~

The most important thing is to preserve the world we live in. Unless people understand and learn about our world, habitats, and animals, they won’t understand that if we don’t protect those habitats, we’ll eventually destroy ourselves.
~Jack Hanna

If man doesn’t learn to treat the oceans and the rain forest with respect, man will become extinct.
~Peter Benchley

The more you learn about the dignity of the gorilla, the more you want to avoid people.
~Dian Fossey

Men who wish to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details.
~Heraclitus

It’s like, the more you zoom in and focus on the details, the closer to the invisible and immeasurable qualities ‒ like consciousness and energies ‒ you get. And expanding outwards, into the cosmos, you learn more about the invisible or perceptible things.
~Adrianne Lenker

~

I believe in innovation and that the way you get innovation is you fund research and you learn the basic facts.
~Bill Gates

False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for everyone takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness; and when this is done, one path towards error is closed and the road to truth is often at the same time opened.
~Charles Darwin

~

A typical software project can present more opportunities to learn from mistakes than some people get in a lifetime.
~Steve McConnell

Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks.
~Stephen Hawking

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.
~Isaac Asimov

~

Narcissism really spreads its wings and soars on twitter. It’s like watching a dragon hatch and learn to fly.
~Dave Anthony

The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn’t think they could learn before, and so in a sense it is all about potential.
~Steve Ballmer

Computers themselves, and software yet to be developed, will revolutionize the way we learn.
~Steve Jobs

If learning is an act of exploration, then technology equips the explorer for the journey of a lifetime.
~author unknown

For a highly motivated learner, it’s not like knowledge is secret and somehow the Internet made it not secret. It just made knowledge easy to find. If you’re a motivated enough learner, books are pretty good.
~Bill Gates

§ The Exercise:

wild abandon

when a bird flits the branch
and home of its nest
does it think of destination
or learn on its way
when a man tries to fly
goes the edge oft too often
jumps out and away
does he think it destiny
to die, lie still
drained at the bottom
or to reach the other side

~

reincarnation

what the soul reaps
passing thru again
wreathed in beauty
worn humbly
learned the hard way
yet, ’twas your eyes
i wanted for mine
this time

~

5s ‘n 7s

hot enough to burn water
colder than stellar zero
rounder than three sixty is
more sacred than libraries
learned than wed to all words
lifetimes ‘tween times and growing
wise in the way of your eyes

~

Think Universe City, small
@University Mall
College sponsoring knowledge
Based on learning as spoilage
Marshmallows ‘n wet pillows
Sweet life smothering fellows
Truth as told, else the gallows

~

conservative warriors
waving flags hold down the fort
while forward thinking doers
imagineer tomorrow
learning, still not got it right
arms raised, salute to peril
will or won’t fight, both might

~

other times to distant places
rolling stoned, skipping traces
disappear, leaving stasis
who and why when finding where
what the fuss in being bare
burning question what to wear
learn the answer getting there

~

green and growing fields
brown and burning woods
cared-for super yields
useless wasted goods
whether weather shields
torn ‘tween did and should
learn the ending’s earned

~ ~

The Olio and Salmagundi of Quotes

Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the furthest thing from it. Because cynics don’t learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness: a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say ‘no.’ But saying ‘yes’ begins things. Saying ‘yes’ is how things grow.
~Stephen Colbert

Man can learn nothing except by going from the known to the unknown.
~Claude Bernard

~

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.
~C S Lewis

He who would learn to fly one day must first learn to stand and walk and run and climb and dance; one cannot fly into flying.

~David Green

~

Learning things is linear; growth is a curve, and learning has to be bent in that curve before it’s part of a personality.
~Northrop Frye

I’m still learning. It’s all a learning curve. Every time you sit down, with any given episode of any given show, it is a learning curve. You’re learning something new about how to tell a story. But then, I’ve felt that way about everything I’ve ever done ‒ television, features or whatever. Directing or writing, it always feels like the first day of school to me.
~Frank Darabont

~

Learning is like mercury; one of the most powerful and excellent things in the world in skilful hands; in unskilful, the most mischievious.

~Selden

~

I’m hungry for knowledge. The whole thing is to learn every day, to get brighter and brighter. That’s what this world is about. You look at someone like Gandhi, and he glowed. Martin Luther King glowed. Muhammad Ali glows. I think that’s from being bright all the time, and trying to be brighter.
~Jay-Z

What is it in fact, this learning to fly? To be precise, it is ‘to learn NOT to fly wrong.’ To learn to become a pilot is to learn ‒ not to let oneself fly too slowly. Not to let oneself turn without accelerating. Not to cross the controls. Not to do this, and not to do that. . . . To pilot is negation.
~Henri Mignet
