Quotation about Learning


"You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives."

"Get over the idea that only children should spend their time in study.  Be a student so long as you still have something to learn, and this will mean all your life."

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

"It's what you learn after you know it all that counts."

"A single conversation with a wise man is better than ten years of study."

"In the spider-web of facts, many a truth is strangled."

"When the student is ready, the master appears."

"Give me a fruitful error any time, full of seeds, bursting with its own corrections.  You can keep your sterile truth for yourself. "

"It is important that students bring a certain ragamuffin, barefoot irreverence to their studies; they are not here to worship what is known, but to question it. "

"Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned."

"Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions. "

"You learn something every day if you pay attention."

"The most useful piece of learning for the uses of life is to unlearn what is untrue.  "

"Some people will never learn anything, for this reason, because they understand everything too soon. "

"Sit down before fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every conceived notion, follow humbly wherever and whatever abysses nature leads, or you will learn nothing. "

"Children have to be educated, but they have also to be left to educate themselves.  "

"I don't think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday. "

"The ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of the martyr."

"Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere.  "

"All the world is a laboratory to the inquiring mind. "

"I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught."

"The purpose of learning is growth, and our minds, unlike our bodies, can continue growing as we continue to live."

"There are some things you learn best in calm, and some in storm."

"There are many things which we can afford to forget which it is yet well to learn. "

"The pupil can only educate himself.  Teachers are the custodians of apparatus upon which he himself must turn and twist to acquire the excellencies that distinguish the better from the poorer of God's vessels."

"The best of my education has come from the public library... my tuition fee is a bus fare and once in a while, five cents a day for an overdue book.  You don't need to know very much to start with, if you know the way to the public library."
