"Bad times have a scientific value. These are occasions a good learner would not miss."	Ralph Waldo Emerson
"If you go through a lot of hammers each month, I don't think it necessarily means you're a hard worker. It may just mean that you have a lot to learn about proper hammer maintenance."	Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]
"Learn to say no to the good so you can say yes to the best."	John C. Maxwell
"I answered that one learns to live, not by hearing of other lives, but by living; for words are infinitely less important than acts."	A. S. Neill
"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so."	Douglas Noel Adams
"When you wish to instruct, be brief; that men's minds take in quickly what you say, learn its lesson, and retain it faithfully. Every word that is unnecessary only pours over the side of a brimming mind."	Marcus Tullius Cicero
"Learning is acquired by reading books; but the much more necessary learning, the knowledge of the world, is only to be acquired by reading man, and studying all the various editions of them."	Philip Dormer Stanhope Chesterfield
"A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam that flashes across his mind from within, more than the lustre of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his own thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come back to us with a sort of alienated majesty."	Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Get rid of imagined guilt. You did the best you could at the time, all things considered. If you made mistakes, learn to accept that we are all imperfect. Only hindsight is 20-20. If you are convinced that you have real guilt, consider professional or spiritual counseling (with a competent and trustworthy counselor). If you believe in God a pastor can help you believe also in God's forgiveness."	Amy Hillyard Jensen
"I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agreed with me."	Dudley Field Malone
"In the past decade or so, the women's magazines have taken to running home-handyperson articles suggesting that women can learn to fix things just as well as men. These articles are apparently based on the ludicrous assumption that _men_ know how to fix things, when in fact all they know how to do is _look_ at things in a certain squinty-eyed manner, which they learned in Wood Shop; eventually, when enough things in the home are broken, they take a job requiring them to transfer to another home."	Dave Barry
"Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow."	Anthony J. D'Angelo
"All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love. Good battle is objective and honest--never vicious or cruel. Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a marriage the principle of equal partnership."	Ann Landers
"The authority of those who teach is often an obstacle to those who want to learn."	Marcus Tullius Cicero

"Example is the school of mankind, and they will learn at no other."	Kurt Herbert Alder
"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."	Albert Coombs Barnes
"A boy can learn a lot from a dog: obedence, loyalty, and the importance of turning around three times before lying down."	Robert Charles Benchley
"The discipline of the writer is to learn to be still and listen to what his subject has to tell him."	Rachel Louise Carson
"I gather, young man, that you wish to be a Member of Parliament. The first lesson that you must learn is, when I call for statistics about the rate of infant mortality, what I want is proof that fewer babies died when I was Prime Minister than when anyone else was Prime Minister. That is a political statistic."	Sir Winston Leonard Spenser Churchill
