True ease in writing comes from art, not chance, as those move easiest who have learn’d to dance.

I hate books; they only teach us to talk about things we know nothing about.

It’s a fundamental, social attitude that the 1% supports symphonies and operas and doesn’t support Johnny learning to program hip-hop beats. When I put it like that, it sounds like, ‚Well, yeah,‘ but you start to think, ‚Why not, though?‘ What makes one more valuable than another?

The only source of knowledge is experience.

Experience never errs; it is only your judgments that err by promising themselves effects such as are not caused by your experiments.

I have made a few mistakes early on that I admit myself, and there have been times when I have gone over the top and done things that you shouldn’t do in international cricket, but that’s how you learn.

I’m trying my best to keep up with all this new technology, and I surround myself with all these wonderful people that are in the know and kind of help me out with all that.

I didn’t fail the test, I just found 100 ways to do it wrong.

I think a role model is a mentor – someone you see on a daily basis, and you learn from them.

I used to have a real problem with self-pity. Every time the devil would throw a pity party, I would attend.

Experience teaches only the teachable.

To know anything well involves a profound sensation of ignorance.

Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.

I was never ignorant, as far as being experienced in classrooms and learning about different subjects and actually soaking it up, so I checked into college for a little bit. I took classes at a community college in West L.A. I took psychology, English, and philosophy.

As a country, we can’t teach kids how to read and write when we got 18 years to do it. And that’s – that’s a disgrace.

I don’t look at a man who’s expert in one area as a specialist. I look at him as a rookie in ten other areas.

Older people sit down and ask, ‚What is it?‘ but the boy asks, ‚What can I do with it?‘.

My father was a swim teacher. We used to swim before school, swim after school.

If you aren’t in the moment, you are either looking forward to uncertainty, or back to pain and regret.

Unfortunately, the highly curious student is a small percentage of the kids.

On the RFactor model that comes with the ‚Pro-Sim,‘ everything is balanced and measured. If you go up on the rear ride height, for example, it changes the airflow and the downforce of the car. You learn by trying different things, which gives you a better idea when you’re on a race weekend.

Tomorrow is the most important thing in life. Comes into us at midnight very clean. It’s perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands. It hopes we’ve learned something from yesterday.

Every one goes astray, but the least imprudent are they who repent the soonest.

Common Core is a big win for education.

We have wasted History like a bunch of drunks shooting dice back in the men’s crapper of the local bar.

If everything was perfect, you would never learn and you would never grow.

Failure is not a single, cataclysmic event. You don’t fail overnight. Instead, failure is a few errors in judgement, repeated every day.

I am what libraries and librarians have made me, with little assistance from a professor of Greek and poets.

I don’t know what’s the matter with people: they don’t learn by understanding; they learn by some other way – by rote, or something. Their knowledge is so fragile!
