Learning Quotes
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.'

What do you first do when you learn to swim? You make mistakes, do you not? And what happens? You make other mistakes, and when you have made all the mistakes you possibly can without drowning - and some of them many times over - what do you find? That you can swim? Well - life is just the same as learning to swim! Do not be afraid of making mistakes, for there is no other way of learning how to live!
– Alfred Adler
– Robert Anthony
Above all, it's hard learning to live with vivid mental images of scenes I cared for and failed to photograph. It is the edgy existence within me of these unmade images that is the only assurance that the best photographs are yet to be made.

The name of the subject is not fundamentally important. All subjects may be made the means of developing a man. What we call culture is not the result of a line of study, so much as the result of association with educated and sensitive persons. A well educated mind has a broad outlook. It develops beyond the specialist to the philosopher... We are learning that no subjects are unclean.
– Liberty Hyde Bailey
It is not rejection itself that people fear, it is the possible consequences of rejection. Preparing to accept those consequences and viewing rejection as a learning experience that will bring you closer to success, will not only help you to conquer the fear of rejection, but help you to appreciate rejection itself.

Well, I think that I've been learning how to, attempting to learn how to write for a trio. I've sort of taken a page out of Duke Ellington's book. I watched Ellington over the years and it didn't matter who got in that band, he found out what they could do good and then he wrote for them.

Women have to harness their power - its absolutely true. It's just learning not to take the first no. And if you can't go straight ahead, you go around the corner.

Navigation is important, but the single biggest issue is prodding Web developers into learning how to make standards-compliant sites. They've quite simply been doing it wrong all along.

– Chuck Close
My only regrets in my career are that I never spent any time overseas as a reporter, and that I was never a Washington correspondent. Outside of work, I wish I had spent less time on the baseball field and more time learning how to play the piano. I also wish I had learned to dance earlier in life.

To be a photographer, one must photograph. No amount of book learning, no checklist of seminars attended, can substitute for the simple act of making pictures. Experience is the best teacher of all. And for that, there are no guarantees that one will become an artist. Only the journey matters.
– Harry Callahan
– Michael Carey
Genuine ignorance is profitable because it is likely to be accompanied by humility, curiosity, and open mindedness; whereas ability to repeat catch-phrases, cant terms, familiar propositions, gives the conceit of learning and coats the mind with varnish waterproof to new ideas.
– John Dewey

Every Aryan should become computer literate, become connected to the Internet, and learn how to use it to spread our truth and awaken our race. Internet proficiency is as important to our cause as was learning to use a sword in the Middle Ages, or a long rifle in the American Revolution.

It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books. The value of an education is a liberal arts college is not learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks.
– Albert Einstein
I consider myself a student, both in my work and my life, and I'm constantly learning and I'm constantly grateful for that.

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.

As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take this examination system seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disappear, and no one would be a penny the stupider.
– E. M. Forster
[Moderates] are listening, they're learning they want to be engaged, they want to be courted. They are not just going to say I am a Republican only. They aren't monolithic. The economy is a winner for us; when we talk about taxes, job creation, people listen.

I went from raising Allegra into being Chairman of the National Center for Learning Disabilities, and from there into writing this book.

My son Alessandro was always so terrific with his sister, and the three of us-Alessandro, Allegra and myself-made the highs as high as we could, and mostly tried to laugh at the lows. I have written about some of the difficulties a learning disability can cause a family, but there is always an up side to everything.

I was a banquet waiter at the Beverly Hilton hotel. You learn a lot when you're in the service industry-the jerks of the world really come to the fore. It's a valuable learning experience to be in the position where you're of service to someone who sometimes doesn't even know you're there.
– Andy Garcia

There were some ages in Western history that have occasionally been called Dark. They were dark, it is said, because in them learning declined, and progress paused, and men labored under the pall of belief. A cause-effect relationship is frequently felt to exist between the pause and the belief.
– Thomas Howard
My guiding light was not learning to spin or having my trailer lined with photographs of Mahatma Gandhi, or my yoga classes - that's the mechanics of it... But the true guiding light, my yardstick of decency, intelligence and a profound respect for my fellow men was finally pushed out of my larynx and onto the screen - into a performance that is - it's based on you, it belongs to you, you are my guiding light and that is how I did it.
– Ben Kingsley
I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.
– Stanley Kubrick
– Eartha Kitt
I gave myself six out of 10 for my first performance. The first time I went on stage, it was so scary. I was experiencing a lot of emotion. There was no acting, I was just making sure I was up-to-speed with my lines. I'm still learning every day, but everyone learns from their mistakes, and this has lead to an even better production.
– John Leslie
– Eliphas Levi
I'd spent 10 years learning my craft, and I'm just a professional writer, and how I'm perceived doesn't matter to me in the slightest - because I don't live in L.A., I don't go to parties, I don't go to openings - I just keep my head down and do my job.
– John Logan

My whole life has been dedicated to music. And of course, I've been accused a million times of playing too fast or too many notes, and I'm sure justifiably sometimes. But, you know, I'm the way I am and as we grow old, we learn and I'm still learning about space. But I'll be learning about space until I die.
– John McLaughlin
The modern developments of economic science in relation to rent indicate progress. For we are learning that what is commonly called the rent of land is really a very complex thing made up of many elements, some of which differ more widely from one another than it, as a whole, differs from profits, or than some elements of it differ from wages.
– Alfred Marshall
Would that this institution-or some institution-could become the University of Utopia. What will it be like? It will be the most enlightened institution of higher learning in the world today. Its only purpose is to educate. What a radically novel idea for an institution of higher learning!
– Charles McCurdy, Jr.
I'm very young, I have a lot to learn. I felt like I grew a lot... I got to watch myself, and, boy, I am spoiled sometimes. I'm also annoying. I learned so much about myself, but it's very hard to have a learning experience in front of a viewing audience that doesn't know I'm learning.
– Jenna Morasca
The designer has an obligation to provide an appropriate conceptual model for the way that the device works. It doesn't have to completely accurate but it has to be sufficiently accurate that it will help in both the learning of the operation and also dealing with novel situations.
– Donald A. Norman
What a wonderful opportunity was presented to me to be able to make a living and pay my bills while I'm learning my trade.

Facing the press is endlessly daunting for me. But I am learning to use it to my advantage. If the tabloids come up with the latest ridiculous lie about me - and they always do - then now I can rectify it the following week in a proper interview with a serious newspaper. That's a novelty.
– Lisa Marie Presley
Tuition at our institutions of higher learning is slowly but surely being priced out of reach for middle class families.

We know that kids with quality early learning opportunities are more likely to graduate from high school, more likely to graduate from college, and more likely to earn higher income. And we know for every one dollar we invest in early education, we save seven dollars down the line in welfare, special education, and criminal justice costs. Our children deserve the chance for an early start on success.
– Bill Richardson
The distance-learning program will revolutionize the way we teach our children in Alabama forever. Just think about it: A kid in rural Clay County or Wilcox County will have the opportunity to take advanced physics, calculus, or even Chinese.
