LEARN / LEARNING
Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die; so, let us all be thankful.
—Buddha
As children bring their broken toys,
with tears for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God,
because he is my friend.
But then instead of leaving Him
In peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help,
With ways that were my own.
At last, I snatched them back again
And cried, “How can you be so slow?”
“My child,” He said, “What could I do?
You never did let go.”
—Unknown
The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think—rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with the thoughts of other men.”
—John Dewey
A teacher who does not ask questions has stopped learning. —Susie Palmieri
Respect the dog for its owner. —Tom Pica’s grandmother
The more revisions you make, the stronger your vision.
It is impossible to learn that which one thinks one already knows. —Epictetus
It is better to learn a right lesson from a bad example, than to learn the wrong lesson from a bad example. —Tuchy Palmieri
Learn to love what you have rather than have what you love.
You learn to like someone when you find out what makes them laugh, but you can never truly love someone until you find out what makes them cry.
Man cannot learn what he thinks he already knows. —Epictetus
To learn from one’s mistakes requires vigorous honesty, to learn from others mistakes, one needs humility and empathy.
The only complete mistake is the mistake from which we learn nothing.
The system—you can try to fight it, change it, beat it, knuckle under to it, or improve it. But you first have to learn it.
A little learning is a dangerous thing, but a little patronage more so.
To stay young requires unceasing cultivation of the ability to unlearn old falsehoods.
Life is a game and all you need do is to learn how to play it.
When the student is ready the teacher will teach.
Winning is losing too. —Allan Cane
