43

Standardized tests don’t care if you’re white or black, short or tall, or even the rate at which you learned the course material. At the end of the day, all it cares about is whether you know what you’re supposed to know. It can’t be cheated, bent, or bargained with.

89
I always say the minute I stop making mistakes is the minute I stop learning and I’ve definitely learned a lot.

94

99
100
At Cornell University, my professor of European literature, Vladimir Nabokov, changed the way I read and the way I write. Words could paint pictures, I learned from him.

109
I was in the U.K. and Germany and went to Volkswagen and learned about their apprenticeship model – young people become paid apprentices in trades. It’s not a coincidence that youth unemployment is far lower in Germany than the United States because there are paid opportunities for young people to get experience.
110
I have three girls, and I say the same thing to them. I’m not involved in their careers because I’ve learned that it’s important for them to stand on their own two feet. They’ll feel better and prouder of themselves if they do.

119
120
I’ve led a school whose faculty and students examine and discuss and debate every aspect of our law and legal system. And what I’ve learned most is that no one has a monopoly on truth or wisdom.

122
123

125
126
I probably learned, being in ‘Taxi Driver‘ before I made my first film, I would come to the set every day just to watch how that film came about. It’s like a graduate course: it’s terrific. You talk to the cinematographer during the breaks. You ask the electrician why they are doing this.
127
128
The biggest lessons I’ve learned in life have probably come from a bad situation, from an angry situation, even if I wasn’t the one who was angry.
129
In ‘Gran Torino,’ I play a guy who’s racially offensive. But he learned. It shows that you’re never too old to learn and embrace people that you don’t understand to begin with. It seems like nobody else got that message, I guess.
130
What I learned from my father is to think big.
131
I’ve learned that mistakes can often be as good a teacher as success.

133
134
135
136

137
138
139
140

The world around me has changed, and I have learned to adapt but not change. But I’m changing into the woman I am meant to be.
143

145
I directed a short series for Hulu called ‘Paloma,’ and being in an editing room, I learned a lot about acting. It gave me a new bolt of energy in terms of my interest in filmmaking because it made me realize how collaborative filmmaking can be and also that you’re not just limited to one job.
146
147
I’d call myself a street footballer, that’s where I learned my tricks, and through football I looked at the big players, I think it really helped me.
148

150

153
154
155

159
I learned that the only way you are going to get anywhere in life is to work hard at it. Whether you’re a musician, a writer, an athlete or a businessman, there is no getting around it. If you do, you’ll win – if you don’t, you won’t.
160
161
162
163
Maybe the biggest thing that I’ve learned musically is that anything is possible. Things can work when maybe they don’t seem like they can.
164
165
I used to not really know any other people when I was young that wanted to play music – that’s why I learned everything myself. As a result, you kind of naturally become an engineer of sorts, because you’ve got to learn how to record everything.
166
I learned a long time ago: You’re in the entertainment business. You’re not in the reality business. One has absolutely nothing to do with the other.
167

168
I’m prepared to try to talk to a very beautiful girl. I learned a fantastic secret, which is that the most beautiful woman in the room is not being spoken to because she’s too intimidating. They’re not looking for somebody beautiful; they’re looking for somebody to amuse them.
169
170

171
172
173
What I quickly learned after my diagnosis is that the world of a cancer patient has many parts and a good deal of uncertainty.
174
What I learned from architectural drafting is that everything has to have a plan to work. You just can’t wing it. I can’t get all the materials I need for a house and just start building. Whether it’s a career, family, life – you have to plan it out.
175
176
177
178
My mom taught me the power of love. I learned to focus on the long-term big picture from my father. His sense of humor and light-hearted approach always make me smile. My husband is a pivotal anchor in my life. His influence encourages me to be independent and take risks.
179
180
181
182
183

185
186
I’ve learned any fool can write a bad ad, but it takes a real genius to keep his hands off a good one.
187
We look at the world and see what we have learned to believe is there. We have been conditioned to expect… but, as photographers, we must learn to relax our beliefs.
188
189
This is what I have learned: Any white person living in the United States will develop opinions about race simply by swimming in the water of our culture. But mainstream sources – schools, textbooks, media – don’t provide us with the multiple perspectives we need.
190
One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn’t pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.
191
The biggest lesson I learned from Vietnam is not to trust our own government statements. I had no idea until then that you could not rely on them.
192
193
194

195
196
What I’ve learned about marriage: You need to have each other’s back; you have to be a kind of team going through life.
197
I learned English kind of late. I remember when I got my first opportunity to work in America, I didn’t speak a lot of English, so I only really knew my lines for the movie I was doing.
198
From Watergate we learned what generations before us have known; our Constitution works. And during Watergate years it was interpreted again so as to reaffirm that no one – absolutely no one – is above the law.
199
200
I’ve learned people are watching, so don’t do nothing stupid.
201
202

203

I learned at an early stage that the most important thing I could do for my players was to give them the tools necessary to beat their opponent.
206
207
I grew up playing about 15 instruments and the way that I was able to accomplish that was by cutting my classes, hanging out in the band room all day, and going from one instrument to the next to the next, until I learned how to play everything by ear.
208
209
I still believe the lessons I learned when I was raised in a Roman Catholic household. Like, it’s harder for a rich man to get into Heaven than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.
210
211
212
I learned that it is faith that decides whether something will happen or not.
213
214
I don’t use the techniques I learned at NYU much anymore.
215
The one thing I’ve learned from other great players is that you are what you do every single day.
216
217

218
219
220
There’s no law against stupid – I learned that a long time ago.
221

222
The boys of my people began very young to learn the ways of men, and no one taught us; we just learned by doing what we saw, and we were warriors at a time when boys now are like girls.
223
If I’ve learned anything in this business, it’s that you have to be fearless.
224
I was a slow starter. I didn’t really make any dazzling impressions. But I don’t really regret that because I learned a lot along the way. I always kept busy – I found my way my way, and I’m happy about it.
225
From journalism I learned to write under pressure, to work with deadlines, to have limited space and time, to conduct and interview, to find information, to research, and above all, to use language as efficiently as possible and to remember always that there is a reader out there.
226
I’ve learned never to say never.
227
228
229
230
I’ve learned to control my anxiety.
231

232
I worked with John Hurt a couple of times and learned a lot from him.
233
I learned, when I look in the mirror and tell my story, that I should be myself and not peep whatever everybody is doing.
234
The biggest lesson that I’ve learned is that fashion is this tightrope where you have to be consistent but inconsistent. You need the connective thread but at the same time you need a sense of surprise.
235
I was lucky to have such a loving, crazy family. I learned to give and share.
236
I learned to cook in self-defense. My wife doesn’t know what a kitchen is. In the first month of our marriage, she broiled lamb chops 26 nights in a row. Then I took over. I used to mind her not caring about food, but no more – as long as I can eat what I want.
237
At Real Madrid, I learned a will to win.
238
With everybody that I’ve met, there’s always been something I’ve learned about them that I like.

I began my work in the ’70s, teaching at a university in Bangladesh, and these economic theories that I had learned stopped ringing true for me, as I saw the misery of people living all around me.
240
I’ve learned that we all change constantly. It’s rare to find that person who is growing with you in the same way at the same time, who encourages you to grow.
241
I’m a standup comedian who can’t drive. I have never learned. I don’t trust my hand-eye coordination. You’re looking at someone who once dropped a cricket ball on to his own head during a routine catching practice; I don’t think it’s a great idea to have me in control of a high-speed metal death robot.
242
I definitely learned to appreciate there is something about looking good. I think it’s been sort of lost in the last 50 years, this idea of looking very nice and very put together.
243
244
If you learned how to make a cloud, your time is not wasted.
245
246

247
I learned that I can’t save the world, but I can help a child at a time.
248
249
I have learned to love that which is meant to harm me, so that I can stand in the way of those who are less strong. I can take the bullets for those who aren’t able to.
250
251
252
I think I’ve been able to find happiness, and I’ve learned to love myself. That’s a huge accomplishment for anyone, learning to love yourself.
253
Being ignored is a great privilege. That is how I think I learned to see what others do not see and to react to situations differently. I simply looked at the world, not really prepared for anything.
254
I learned that leadership is about falling in love with the people and the people falling in love with you. It is about serving the people with selflessness, with sacrifice, and with the need to put the common good ahead of personal interests.
255
So anyway, I’ve learned a lot about myself just in terms of acting but just work ethic and interesting things like full-page monologues or talking straight into camera, which I had never gotten to do before.
256
257
258
It was from them that I learned that hard work in stable surroundings could yield rewards, even if only in infinitesimally small increments.
259
260
I understand now that the vulnerability I’ve always felt is the greatest strength a person can have. You can’t experience life without feeling life. What I’ve learned is that being vulnerable to somebody you love is not a weakness, it’s a strength.
261
An educated person is one who has learned that information almost always turns out to be at best incomplete and very often false, misleading, fictitious, mendacious – just dead wrong.
262
263
I’ve learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances.
264
From my dad I learned to be good to people, to always be honest and straightforward. I learned hard work and perseverance.
265
I learned that there is an inner strength that blossoms when one cleanses themselves by processing and attempting to comprehend their situation and/or experience. Writing became my therapy!
266
The best restriction I learned was getting into the habit of doing something, even if I didn’t feel like it, instead of running away from it. Sometimes good work needs to be earned, and when you can overcome yourself, the muse notices and celebrates.
267
The passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 represented precisely such a hope – that America had learned from its past and acted to secure a better tomorrow.
268
I learned during all my career to enjoy suffering.
269
Only those who have learned the power of sincere and selfless contribution experience life’s deepest joy: true fulfillment.
270
The most important thing I learned is I have to get my body in shape, because those men look good. Not just the other quarterbacks – everyone. Their bodies look good.
271
The main thing that I learned from editing is that most people, when they’re making a film, they start too early into the story. They will try to set up the characters, they will try to establish things before the plot actually starts.
272
What I’ve really learned over time is that optimism is a very, very important part of leadership.
273
My mother is really the person I learned to curse from. She discourages me from saying that in interviews. But it’s true.
274
The reality of life in Northern Ireland is that if you were Protestant, you learned British history, and if you were Catholic, you learned Irish history in school.
275
‘Evening Shade‘ was such an eye-opening experience. I was 19 when I went on that show. I had barely had an acting class. So as Burt Reynolds continued to bring me back for the next three years, I learned so much from him and all the other legends that were on the show.
276
I learned how important it is to entertain people and give them a reason to come and watch you play.
277

278
I’ve learned to have a sense of humor about myself. Lord knows everyone else does!
279

280
Instead of letting the hard times get me down, I’ve learned to keep going at to look for the hidden good.
281
One thing I’ve learned is that preschool teachers really have seen it all – and they can be a wealth of information! If you have any questions about a certain behavioral hurdle with your child or if you have a question about a certain age or phase, ask them!
282
I learned how to pass when I was real young. That’s one thing I always knew how to do was find the open man.
283
Everything is a learning lesson, good and bad, so I am happy with the way things are, and I learned from everything negative. I am in a great space now, so I wouldn’t change a thing!
284
I’m so not stylish by nature, but I’ve learned to work with what I have.
285
286
I believe that the financial crisis of 2008/9 exposed more a lack of ethics and morality – especially by the financial sector – rather than a problem of regulation or criminality. There were, of course, regulatory lessons to be learned, but at heart, there was a collective loss of our moral compass.
287
288
Strength of character may be learned at work, but beauty of character is learned at home.
289

290

292
The harassment and the bullying that students face is a learned behavior.
293
I’ve learned over the years that if you start thinking about the race, it stresses you out a little bit. I just try to relax and think about video games, what I’m gonna do after the race, what I’m gonna do just to chill. Stuff like that to relax a little before the race.
294
Music is the way I understand how to communicate now, the way that I’ve learned how to communicate… but it will eventually have to go beyond that. You see, I’ve realised that music is not what keeps people involved – it’s the attitude behind the music.
295
I learned early on how to treat women by the examples that were set around me.
296
I learned different ways of working out. I learned a lot about my body. Let me just say that Arnold Schwarzenegger had 20-inch biceps when he did his first film, and when I did ‘Saala Khadoos,’ being a vegetarian, I managed 18 and half inches.
297
298
The true teachers and educators are not those who have learned pedagogy as the science of dealing with children, but those in whom pedagogy has awakened through understanding the human being.
299
I think that a lot of people are going so wrong by analysing music too much and learning from a totally different perspective from the way I learned. I mean, I just learned by listening to people. People I learned from learned by listening to people.
300
When I was a boy, the priest, my uncle, carefully inculcated upon me this proverb, which I then learned and have ever since kept in my mind: ‘Dico tibi verum, Libertas optima rerum; Nunquam servili, sub nexu vivito, fili.’ ‘I tell you a truth: Liberty is the best of things, my son; never live under any slavish bond.’
301
Our parents made a lot of sacrifices because dancing is not the cheapest sport. The dresses are expensive, so my mum learned to sew, and she started a catering company to pay for the lessons and the travel abroad for competitions.
302
I’ve learned to never rule anything in or out.
303
Why be negative when you can enjoy life and be positive? That’s something I learned over the years.
304
305
What could I have possibly learned except the really most important thing, which is that I did not want to work at the ‘New York Times‘? Beyond that, I learned how a newspaper works.
306
Past success is no guarantee of future success, so I have learned to be an entrepreneur. I began to produce and direct my own projects.
307
My journey through life has led me through both light and dark places, and it’s because of those experiences that I have learned how to work through my character defects and to help others do the same.
308
I have learned that, although I am a good teacher, I am a much better student, and I was blessed to learn valuable lessons from my students on a daily basis. They taught me the importance of teaching to a student – and not to a test.
309
I’ve got five grandkids. They play baseball, they play football, they play basketball. I go to all the games. You always have that urge to say something when you’re watching them. But I’ve learned to keep it to myself. I’ve blurted out some things and embarrassed myself.
310
We’re all in this together. I learned that lesson growing up in West Philly. When I shoveled the sidewalk my parents didn’t let me stop with our house. They told me to keep shoveling all the way to the corner. I had a responsibility to my community.
311
My interests were more extracurricular, more external, and more social than they were academic. My birthday is also in December, so I was one of the older kids. That meant I learned social leadership early on. I was always just much better in a team and work environment than I was in a classroom environment.
312
313
314
315
Esoteric or inner knowledge is no different from other kinds of human knowledge and ability. It is a mystery for the average person only to the extent that writing is a mystery for those who have not yet learned to write.
316
When you are reading about a book, you focus on the main character, of course. When you have something in common with them and connect with them, you remember the lessons they learned, and then you can apply them to your life. So you can live the best life you can.
317
It’s passionately interesting for me that the things that I learned in a small town, in a very modest home, are just the things that I believe have won the election.
318
All that I know about my life, it seems, I have learned in books.
319
I did a women’s movie, and I’m not a woman. I did a gay movie, and I’m not gay. I learned as I went along.
320
Children should have enough freedom to be themselves – once they’ve learned the rules.
321
322
Knowledge goes hand-in-hand with truth – something I learned with a bit of tough love from my Jesuit education first at Regis High School in New York City and then at Holy Cross College in Worcester, Mass.
323
I always tell young girls, surround yourself with goodness. I learned early on how to get the haters out of my life.
324
I have learned to interface – what I think would be the contemporary term – with various different lexicons, and people speak very different languages. I’ve learned to speak in a lot of tongues, and I can live with the bellicose language of some fervent, fire-breathing Christians, sure.
325
I learned a long time ago that reality was much weirder than anyone’s imagination.
326
Somehow it’s O.K. for people to chuckle about not being good at math. Yet if I said, ‘I never learned to read,’ they’d say I was an illiterate dolt.
327
I trust God’s timing. I’m a very spiritual person, and a lot of times, we want things on our time, and we come up with our own plans of what we want to do with our lives, but God be like, ‘Haha, you’re funny. That’s cute. Anyways, this is what you’re going to do,’ and I’ve learned to just sit back.
328
I learned early on, stay away from politics, stay away from religion and don’t talk about sports. Those three right there will get you in trouble.
329
I have learned the hard way to mind my business, without judging who people are and what they do. I am more troubled by the lack of space being provided for the truth to unfold. Humans cannot seem to wait for or honor the truth. Instead, we make it up based on who we believe people should or should not be.
330
I’ve learned to appreciate everything that has been given to me.
331
One of the things I learned at the Naval Academy and the Marine Corps is we have to make tough decisions.
332
Impossibilities are merely things of which we have not learned, or which we do not wish to happen.
333
I think the most important thing that I’ve learned is that you live and you learn. Try not to make the same mistakes twice.
334
335
I learned that we have the best energy when all nine of us are together.
336
One of the pleasures of being an actor is quite simply taking a walk in someone else’s shoes. And when I look at the roles I’ve played, I’m kind of amazed at all the wonderful adventures I’ve had and the different things I’ve learned.
337
338
339
We’ve learned to embrace our own physical shadows by leaning on each other and Once to find motivation and energy to keep our heads up and stay healthy.
340
We pick players on their profiles. Over the years, I’ve learned that, if you have one cog that’s not quite right in the system, that flow of how you want to play can’t work.
341
I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet, strange, I am ungrateful to those teachers.
342
343
344
345
346
I am not learned, but I have as good feelings as any man.
347
Some years ago I became president of Columbia University and learned within 24 hours to be ready to speak at the drop of a hat, and I learned something more, the trustees were expected to be ready to speak at the passing of the hat.
348
349
Through a long and painful process, I’ve learned that happiness is an inside job – not based on anything or anyone in the outer material world. I’ve become a different and better person – not perfect, but still a work in progress.
350
351
352
A peaceful man does more good than a learned one.
353
I think the one thing I have learned the most from all the veteran guys is kinda like not to dwell on a loss or a bad day.
354
A kite needs to be tied down in order to fly. I learned how important restrictions can sometimes be in order to experience freedom.
355
356
I learned more about myself by being an RN than anything else I’ve ever done.
357
All that I know I learned after I was thirty.
358
359

361
362
I have learned not to allow rejection to move me.
363
Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.
364
365
I learned how not to be alone in the playground.
366
Whatever I learned reading ‘Scientific American,’ nothing can finally compete with your own observations.
367
When I was growing up, I didn’t realize that the idiosyncrasies of my mother’s character had something to do with our culture. After growing up and reflecting and making more Asian-American friends, I learned that a lot this is something a lot of people grow up with.
368
I’ve learned over the years that people are human and have mood swings, regardless of how talented they are. Today, I’m looking at life from a realistic point of view instead of the way I would want things to be.
369
370
The biggest lessons I learned were probably the times where I had the biggest setbacks and the biggest challenges – when I had the biggest jumps forward and lessons learned.
371
372
My college experience was like everyone else’s. I learned a lot. I gained a new perspective on the world and on people that I’m so thankful and appreciative for.
373
374
375
I learned compassion from being discriminated against. Everything bad that’s ever happened to me has taught me compassion.
376
In three words I can sum up everything I’ve learned about life: it goes on.
377
You learned the concept ‘pain’ when you learned language.
378
I learned that we can do anything, but we can’t do everything… at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do, but when you do them. Timing is everything.
379
I learned some valuable lessons about the legislative process, the importance of bipartisan cooperation and the wisdom of taking small steps to get a big job done.
380
I learned early on about the real meaning of equity and inclusion, and that when those guiding principles are not met, they can have devastating effects on individuals, families, and communities.
381
382
I’ve become more mature on and off the court, and I’ve learned how to deal with some of those big occasions much better.
383
All I really need to know… I learned in kindergarten.
384
A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward.
385

386
I guess I’ve learned that there’s really no such thing as a bad label, there is only a bad contract.
387
388
389
390
I have learned to delegate.
391
392
393
394
395
That is never too often repeated, which is never sufficiently learned.
396
397
398
I found out through the Internet that I have AIDS. I learned that I was dead. Where else would I find these things?
399
What I’ve learned is that real change is very, very hard. But I’ve also learned that change is possible – if you fight for it.
400
I learned more in that first year in the NBA than I could have in four years of college.
401
I learned that I’m really good with perseverance. I’m stronger than I thought I was inside. I also learned that I don’t give up easily and that I trust and believe that things are going to be OK.
402
I had learned what wealth was, and a great deal about production and exchange for myself in the early history of South Australia – of the value of machinery, of roads and bridges, and of ports for transport and export.
403
The chief lesson I have learned in a long life is that the only way you can make a man trustworthy is to trust him; and the surest way to make him untrustworthy is to distrust him.
404
405
I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition.
406
407
408
The more I’ve learned about me, the more I’m interested in others.
409
Beauty is grace and confidence. I’ve learned to accept and appreciate what nature gave me.
410
For Ripley I learned to play some songs on the piano, and I never really played them again.
411
412
413
I’ve never really played golf. With the sax, I learned technique well enough so that it feels like part of my body, and I just express myself. That’s where I want to get in golf.
414
415
416
417
I had a lot of growing up to do. A lot of times, I learned the hard way.
418
419
420
I used to be very controlling with visuals and editing, and I would pretty much craft the performances; now I have learned to trust the material and the actors.
421
I’ve learned lots, obviously – the first thing being never to forget to be grateful. The second is not to bear grudges, because in football, luck does not exist.
422
I have never in my life learned anything from any man who agreed with me.
423
I’ve learned a lot in life, travelling, living abroad, just in the school of life.
424
I learned that you can never ever have enough quality time with Mom.
425
Film school didn’t prepare me for the fact that you have to manage so many different personalities at every stage, and I learned nothing about what to do when a movie was finished.
426
Everything I’ve learned, I’ve learned with the beatings I’ve gotten from all of the bad choices I made.
427
428
We really don’t know how to love each other because we haven’t really learned to love ourselves. In many instances, not all, it’s not malicious. We’ve just been conditioned to such bad behavior.
429
I began to work the stage and get the audience into it. I also learned how to have fun out there. It is something I will never forget.
430
I grew up around a lot of artists and people passing through. I learned so much from them. I felt the safest with them – and the most endangered.
431
I always find the worst lies are told in relationships – I learned to never lie about your happiness in order to save someone’s feelings from being hurt.
432
I’ve learned over the years that when I go to that place of passion within me, there’s no force in the universe that can interfere with my completing a project.
433
434
435
When you punch somebody in the ring, you have to use your whole body. I learned that it’s more about technique than physical strength.
436
Let me tell you what the truth is… I have learned one thing in life: there is no such thing as bad press. There is not. That’s a fundamental truth. The more bad things said about you, the more power they give to you.
437
438
439
When one has finished building one’s house, one suddenly realizes that in the process one has learned something that one really needed to know in the worst way – before one began.
440
441
442
443
444
The biggest thing I learned from being in the special forces is the decision-making process and also the willingness not to give up. You need to have a certain mindset. I call it a positive mindset.
445
446
I have learned to like myself for the first time and to have some serenity.
447
448
449
450
You have to stay focused and be mentally tough. That’s what I’ve really learned: every day is a grind, and you have to go hard.
451
I still don’t love the darkness, though I’ve learned to smile in it a little bit, now and then.
452
453
454
455
456
I’m going to write a book, continue acting, continue motivational speaking and just share with people who I am and what I’ve learned in my second chance of life and pass it on to people in their first chance of life.
457
Trust your own instincts, go inside, follow your heart. Right from the start. go ahead and stand up for what you believe in. As I’ve learned, that’s the path to happiness.
458
I’ve learned it’s always better to have a small percentage of a big success, than a hundred percent of nothing.
459
I think what I’ve learned out of this lifetime is you should be proud of where you come from.
460
The first time you say something, it’s heard. The second time, it’s recognized, and the third time it’s learned.
461
I learned a lot more about transgender people. It’s not a choice, but a physiological condition that has to do with the size of the hypothalamus part of the brain.
462
I’ve learned in my life that you really don’t know what’s possible until you’re already doing it.
463
464
465
I am more than just a serious basketball fan. I am a life-long addict. I was addicted from birth, in fact, because I was born in Kentucky and I learned, early on, that Habitual Domination was a natural way of life.
466
467
468
469
When I was a kid I never learned to play. I actually got in bands through watching people play and copying them.
470
I learned that life will go through changes – up and down and up again. It’s what life does.
471
I learned in my Ph.D. the discipline I needed to be successful. Most boxers are not that disciplined. They have talent, but the self-organization – the ability to schedule yourself and your priorities – is lacking. My studies were about the control of training on both the psychological and the physical side.
472
When authorities warn you of the sinfulness of sex, there is an important lesson to be learned. Do not have sex with the authorities.
473
In Israel, a land lacking in natural resources, we learned to appreciate our greatest national advantage: our minds. Through creativity and innovation, we transformed barren deserts into flourishing fields and pioneered new frontiers in science and technology.
474
475
I’ve learned, I think, to be able to distinguish between the necessary and the unnecessary as far as my limited outside time is concerned. Saying ‘no’ politely is a necessity if one wants to lead any kind of stable life.
476
When Shanthi Ranganathan was the featured turn on ‘Hip Hop Saved My Life With Romesh Ranganathan,’ we learned she didn’t allow him to have a girlfriend until he’d finished university, and she learned – to her unfeigned horror – that he used to sneak girls into the house when she was out.
477
478
The thought of going through a bone marrow transplant, which in my case called for a life-threatening dose of chemotherapy followed by a total replacement of my body’s bone marrow, was scary enough. But then I learned that finding a donor can be the scariest part of all.
479
480
481
I learned a lot in those first years in Miami, while struggling just for survival, by observing my father’s fortitude.
482
I’ve learned that it’s OK to be flawed.
483
484
I played piano, I learned a lot about music.
485
When I started, I learned the European style because that’s what I wrestled the most.
486
We all learn lessons in life. Some stick, some don’t. I have always learned more from rejection and failure than from acceptance and success.
487
Prejudice is a learned trait. You’re not born prejudiced; you’re taught it.
488
I learned that being considerate helps me in my life and career.
489
I might have lived long enough to learn all this in the long haul, but I would have been just another soul taking up time and space for a long spell before I learned.
490
I learned a woman is never an old woman.
491
No one who has gotten second place at a Grand Slam is ever like, ‘Yeah, now I feel fine about it.’ Everyone wants the other trophy. But it inspires you to work harder and get yourself in that position again so that you can use what you’ve learned.
492
493
I learned how to make an endoscope using a Swiss Army Knife, a cell phone camera, cell phone, and chewing gum.
494
For I have learned to look on nature, not as in the hour of thoughtless youth, but hearing oftentimes the still, sad music of humanity.
495
I never learned from a man who agreed with me.
496
497
You can never satisfy other people, I learned. End of the day, it’s extremely important that you know yourself better than anybody else, and if you can do that, it doesn’t matter what anybody thinks about you, good or bad.
498
I have the Midas touch, in the way that when I hook up with a project, I feel, not speaking cocky or conceited, but there’s a confidence I have. I learned that from Muhammad Ali; I used to bodyguard him. He taught me about confidence. So when it comes to any job I work, I’m gonna do it good; I’m going to bring it over the top.
499
I’m grateful for every opportunity. I learned the hard way.
500
What I’ve learned is there’s a scientifically proven phenomenon that’s attached to gratitude, and that if you consciously take note of what is good in your life, quantifiable benefits happen.
501
502
My goal? To test out every diet and exercise regimen on planet earth and figure out which work best. I sweated, I cooked, I learned to pole dance. In the end, I lost weight, lowered my cholesterol and doubled my energy level. I feel better than I ever have.
503
I’ve learned how my own perfectionism can cripple me.
504
The whole world opened to me when I learned to read.
505
506
I think one thing I’ve learned over the years is just that you’re not going to ever please everyone, and the most important person to please is yourself.
507
508
509
Learning should be a joy and full of excitement. It is life’s greatest adventure; it is an illustrated excursion into the minds of the noble and the learned.
510
511
When I was a teenager, I worked in New Orleans for a chef named Paul Prudhomme. That was a very important time in my life as a chef. I developed my palate and learned a lot. And here I am now. I specialize in modern Mexican and contemporary Latin cuisines.
512
We recognize that violence is a learned behavior. One of the best classrooms for learning violence is in the home.
513
He was what I often think is a dangerous thing for a statesman to be – a student of history; and like most of those who study history, he learned from the mistakes of the past how to make new ones.
514
I’ve learned that you simply can’t control those bad vibes.
515
I learned why ‘out riding alone’ is an oxymoron: An equestrian is never alone, is always sensing the other being, the mysterious but also understandable living being that is the horse.
516
517
518
519
520
I think one of the things I’ve learned is that the tone of an organization is set from the top down. And if you have men running an organization that want to honor women, that’s a whole different experience than if they don’t.
521
The mind unlearns with difficulty what it has long learned.
522
I learned more about the economy from one South Dakota dust storm that I did in all my years of college.
523
I learned French in Tunis, along with Arabic. I also learned French history. I knew the entire history of the kings of France. And I was fascinated by Versailles.
524
As you grow, you stretch. You become more, and you have more to give if you’ve lived and learned and experienced. And I try to stay healthy. I eat as healthy as I can. I drink lots of water, and I work out just about every day of my life.
525
I learned how to speak English watching television.
526
I’ve always learned a lot, I’ve always played different roles, and I will continue to do so.
527
One of my great regrets, and I don’t have many, is that I spent too long putting people’s status and reputation ahead of their more important qualities. I learned far too late in life that a long list of letters after someone’s name is no guarantee of compassion, kindness, humour, all the far more relevant stuff.
528
I would say that Emma Stone and Emma Watson are two very talented young actresses who are very intelligent and have a great sense of humor and have learned to balance what they love with their acting career, and I think that’s really a great thing.
529
530
I learned that life is filled with ups and downs and it’s just about how you react to them.
531
532
533
My mom made me read a ton of books, so I got good at words and understood the English language. So when I started rapping, words were something I knew. I learned how to manipulate them so that I could say whatever I wanted to say.
534
My father was an absolutely wonderful human being. From him I learned to always assume positive intent. Whatever anybody says or does, assume positive intent.
535
I grew up in a family that was very musical, learned the blues and everything like that. And I became a little bit frustrated with the simplicity of rock n’ roll and blues. I started listening to a lot of classical music – mainly Bach, Vivaldi.
536
The essential lesson I’ve learned in life is to just be yourself. Treasure the magnificent being that you are and recognize first and foremost you’re not here as a human being only. You’re a spiritual being having a human experience.
537
538
If Americans knew how to deal with other people, they could bring peace to the world. Alas, they have not learned enough yet. The true American feels that he is 100 percent welcome anywhere he goes.
539
540
Being called ugly and fat and disgusting to look at from the time I could barely understand what the words meant has scarred me so deep inside that I have learned to hunt, stalk, claim, own and defend my own loveliness.
541
542
I had me jaw broken, and so my chin stuck way out. That’s how I became tough – I learned to pick up anything and fight back.
543
I was taught that to create anything you had to believe in failure, simply because you had to be prepared to go through an idea without any fear. Failure, you learned, as I did in art school, to be a wonderful thing. It allowed you to get up in the morning and take the pillow off your head.
544
545
I think the one lesson I have learned is that there is no substitute for paying attention.
546
547
I’m an imperfect person. I’ve let anger, jealousy, all the emotions, get the best of me. If I go into books, word by word, little by little, they help re-center and re-ground me and put me on the right path. Life is a journey. I’m very focused on the things I do and have learned not to be pressured.
548
We learned about gratitude and humility – that so many people had a hand in our success, from the teachers who inspired us to the janitors who kept our school clean… and we were taught to value everyone’s contribution and treat everyone with respect.
549
550
In dreams the truth is learned that all good works are done in the absence of a caress.
551
It was playing on the varzea where I learned to be a warrior, to fight for every ball, and then to never give it away.
552
553
Throughout my career, I learned plenty about war on the battlefield, but I learned even more about the importance of finding peace. And that is what the State Department and U.S.A.I.D. do: prevent the wars that we can avoid so that we fight only the ones we must.
554
People learn something every day, and a lot of times it’s that what they learned the day before was wrong.
555
I wouldn’t change anything. I’ve made mistakes, but thanks to those mistakes, I’ve learned.
556
Practical wisdom is only to be learned in the school of experience. Precepts and instruction are useful so far as they go, but, without the discipline of real life, they remain of the nature of theory only.
557
558
A man’s character may be learned from the adjectives which he habitually uses in conversation.
559
I Googled myself, and I saw some nice things and some not-so-nice things. I’ve learned that that stuff isn’t real, and it doesn’t exist unless you look at it.
560
I learned more from my dad by osmosis than by any talk we ever had. He was the most reliable person I’ve ever met.
561
562
I’ve learned how to appreciate what I have. And it’s a lot. I’m very lucky.
563
I learned that if I had known how much of this Nazi memorabilia there was to collect, I never would have started in the first place. It’s crowding me out of my house.
564
I’ve seen and learned enough to keep my music fresh and spread out.
565
I’ve learned to relax more. Everybody feels pressure in what they do, maybe mine is just a little different because there doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day to accomplish what I want to.
566
567
I learned that if you want to make it bad enough, no matter how bad it is, you can make it.
568
I basically started performing for my mother, going, ‘Love me!’ What drives you to perform is the need for that primal connection. When I was little, my mother was funny with me, and I started to be charming and funny for her, and I learned that by being entertaining, you make a connection with another person.
569
570
For conclusion, I say the philosopher teacheth, but he teacheth obscurely, so as the learned only can understand him; that is to say, he teacheth them that are already taught.

I’ve learned that I am a complete workaholic and that no amount of sleeplessness or exhaustion will keep me from taking on new or ambitious projects. That is both a good quality and a terrible one, I think.
572
What was the most important thing I learned from Chomsky? That capitalism compels us to work ourselves to death in order to stuff our houses with things we don’t need. Perhaps this is one thing art can do: create a new aesthetic, one of austerity.

I knew I wanted to sing when I was a very small boy. When I was probably 4 years old. My mother played a guitar and I would sit with her and she would sing and I learned to sing along with her.

One thing I didn’t understand in life was that I had $100,000,000 in the bank and I couldn’t buy happiness. I had everything: mansions, yachts, Ferraris, Lamborghinis, but I was depressed. I didn’t know where I fitted in. But then I found family and friends and I learned the value of life.
575
I do not believe in God; his existence has been disproved by Science. But in the concentration camp, I learned to believe in men.
576
Men are fair, and they have learned not to personalize anger – they can disagree with you and argue to the bone, but afterward they still consider you a nice person with whom the underlying human relationship need not be altered.
577
All of us that have teams want to pick the right people. I’ve thought a lot about that. In the NFL, we’ve got 13 scouts traveling the country. We’re trying to pick 22 year-olds coming out of college who will be successful in the NFL. It’s very hard to do. What I’ve learned is it’s always character first.

I have learned that nothing is certain except for the need to have strong risk management, a lot of cash, the willingness to invest even when the future is unclear, and great people.
581
Eventually, my eyes were opened, and I really understood nature. I learned to love at the same time.

Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it’s a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.
584
Friendship… is not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.
585
Liberalism, austere in political trifles, has learned ever more artfully to unite a constant protest against the government with a constant submission to it.
586
I have learned that friendship isn’t about who you’ve known the longest, it’s about who came and never left your side.

On ‘Avatar‘, I learned that it’s worth taking some risks and doing some weird little things with characters or having an off-joke here and there, even if it’s only for 5 percent of the audience.

The human body is strange and flawed and unpredictable. The human body has many secrets, and it does not divulge them to anyone, except those who have learned to wait.

I recently learned that Lake Como is one of the most romantic places two people could go. That beautiful great lake is a majestic reminder that love is unconditional when you flow and nourish one another, constantly and unconditionally, like water.
594
It wasn’t until I got out in the world and started worked professionally when I realized that the people I admired were the ones who had taken the little snippets of what they learned that worked for them – and strung them together in their own technique.
595
When I was 18, I thought my father was pretty dumb. After a while when I got to be 21, I was amazed to find out how much he’d learned in three years.
596
597
I never said I wanted a ‘happy’ life but an interesting one. From separation and loss, I have learned a lot. I have become strong and resilient, as is the case of almost every human being exposed to life and to the world. We don’t even know how strong we are until we are forced to bring that hidden strength forward.
598
Racism is taught in our society, it is not automatic. It is learned behavior toward persons with dissimilar physical characteristics.

But the first the general public learned about the discovery was the news of the destruction of Hiroshima by the atom bomb. A splendid achievement of science and technology had turned malign. Science became identified with death and destruction.
