"To teach a man how he may learn to grow independently, and for himself, is perhaps the greatest service that one man can do to another."	Benjamin Jowett
"Don't be afraid to fail. Don't waste energy trying to cover up failure. Learn from your failures and go on to the next challenge. It's OK to fail. If you're not failing, you're not growing."	H. Stanley Judd
"We must learn not to disassociate the airy flower from the earthy root, for the flower that is cut off from its root fades, and its seeds are barren, whereas the root, secure in mother earth, can produce flower after flower and bring their fruit to maturity."	Kabbalah
"We could never learn to be brave and patient, if there were only joy in the world."	Helen Adams Keller
"Class has a sense of humor. It knows that a good laugh is the best lubricant for oiling the machinery of human relations. Class never makes excuses. It takes its lumps and learns from past mistakes. Class bespeaks an aristocracy unrelated to ancestors or money. Some extremely wealthy people have no class at all, while others who are struggling to make ends meet are loaded with it. Class is real. You can't fake it. Class never tries to build itself up by tearing others down. Class is already up and need not attempt to look better by making others look worse. Everyone is comfortable with the person who has class because he is comfortable with himself. If you have class, you've got it made. If you don't have class, no matter what else you have, it won't make up for it."	Ann Landers
"While day by day the overzealous student stores up facts for future use, He who has learned to trust nature finds need for ever fewer external directions. He will discard formula after formula, until he reaches the conclusion: Let nature take its course. By letting each thing act in accordance with its own nature, everything that needs to be done gets done."	Lao-Tzu
"There is no need to run outside for better seeing... Rather abide at the center of your being; For the more you leave it the less you learn. Search your heart and see... The way to do is to be."	Lao-Tzu
"Life, we learn too late, is in the living, the tissue of every day and hour."	Stephen Butler Leacock
"In university they don't tell you that the greater part of the law is learning to tolerate fools."	Doris Lessing
"What I want to fix your attention on is the vast overall movement towards the discrediting, and finally the elimination, of every kind of human excellence -- moral, cultural, social or intellectual. And is it not pretty to notice how 'democracy' (in the incantatory sense) is now doing for us the work that was once done by the most ancient dictatorships, and by the same methods? The basic proposal of the new education is to be that dunces and idlers must not be made to feel inferior to intelligent and industrious pupils. That would be 'undemocratic.' Children who are fit to proceed may be artificially kept back, because the others would get a trauma by being left behind. The bright pupil thus remains democratically fettered to his own age group throughout his school career, and a boy who would be capable of tackling Aeschylus or Dante sits listening to his coeval's attempts to spell out A CAT SAT ON A MAT. We may reasonably hope for the virtual abolition of education when 'I'm as good as you' has fully had its way. All incentives to learn and all penalties for not learning will vanish. The few who might want to learn will be prevented; who are they to overtop their fellows? And anyway, the teachers -- or should I say nurses? -- will be far too busy reassuring the dunces and patting them on the back to waste any time on real teaching. We shall no longer have to plan and toil to spread imperturbable conceit and incurable ignorance among men."	Clive Staples Lewis
"Sometimes we may learn more from a man's errors, than from his virtues."	Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
"The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn."	Sir John Lubbock
"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."	Sir John Lubbock
"Many politicians lay it down as a self-evident proposition, that no people ought to be free till they are fit to use their freedom. The maxim is worthy of the fool in the old story, who resolved not to go into the water till he had learned to swim."	Lord Macaulay
"Inside each and every one of us is a person that no one knows. A person, should you take the time to look,is waiting to be discovered, Wanting you to take notice. Take a few minutes every day and sit down to chat to this person. Who knows what you may learn?"	Neill MacRae
"What spectacle can be more edifying or more seasonable than that of Liberty and Learning, each leaning on the other for their natural and surest support."	James Madison
"On reflection, one of the things I needed to learn was to allow myself to be loved."	Isha McKenzie-Mavinga
"A simple fact that is hard to learn is that the time to save money is when you have some."	Joe Moore
"Learn the fundamentals of the game and stick to them. Band-Aid remedies never last."	Jack William Nicklaus
"We all walk in the dark and each of us must learn to turn on his or her own light."	Earl Nightingale
