He who learns but does not think, is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.

We do not learn; and what we call learning is only a process of recollection.

No; we have been as usual asking the wrong question. It does not matter a hoot what the mockingbird on the chimney is singing. The real and proper question is: Why is it beautiful?

Nature puts no question and answers none which we mortals ask. She has long ago taken her resolution.

I learned to fly a few years ago in England. It’s the only place I’m completely alone – up in the air, detached from everything.

The foundation of every state is the education of its youth.

What makes us human, I think, is an ability to ask questions, a consequence of our sophisticated spoken language.

Harvard makes mistakes too, you know. Kissinger taught there.

Why don’t they pass a constitutional amendment prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as well as prohibition did, in five years Americans would be the smartest race of people on Earth.

All knowledge which ends in words will die as quickly as it came to life, with the exception of the written word: which is its mechanical part.

I actually don’t read most of the coverage about Facebook. I try to learn from getting input from people who use our services directly more than from pundits.

I just owe almost everything to my father and 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.

Education is important because it prepares you for life.

Since we cannot know all that there is to be known about anything, we ought to know a little about everything.

I don’t think human beings learn anything without desperation. Desperation is a necessary ingredient to learning anything or creating anything. Period. If you ain’t desperate at some point, you ain’t interesting.

There are many things that I don’t understand.

If a man neglects education, he walks lame to the end of his life.

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.

The true delight is in the finding out rather than in the knowing.

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

Love is a really scary thing, and you never know what’s going to happen. It’s one of the most beautiful things in life, but it’s one of the most terrifying. It’s worth the fear because you have more knowledge, experience, you learn from people, and you have memories.

There is no education like adversity.

Remember: your bosses prefer to keep you in dependent positions. It is in their interest that you do not become self-reliant, and so they will tend to hoard information. You must secretly work against this and seize this information for yourself.

Experience teaches only the teachable.

Kids will remind you that, even though you’ve gone down a road 100 times, it’s brand new for them – and that’s healthy.

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

What we want is to see the child in pursuit of knowledge, and not knowledge in pursuit of the child.

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.

The more that learn to read the less learn how to make a living. That’s one thing about a little education. It spoils you for actual work. The more you know the more you think somebody owes you a living.

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

One thing is certain in business. You and everyone around you will make mistakes.

Yeah, I like to keep myself interested – I’ll kind of throw myself into some area that I don’t completely know or understand, that I’m not adept at, so I’m forced to swim in order to stay afloat. There’s a good feeling that comes from that.

Poor is the pupil who does not surpass his master.

A University should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning.

The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves – and the better the teacher, the better the student body.

Every movie I make teaches me something. That’s why I keep making them.

I never went to school more than six months in my life, but I can say this: that among my earliest recollections, I remember how, when a mere child, I used to get irritated when anybody talked to me in a way I could not understand.

Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations.

Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.

Error is acceptable as long as we are young; but one must not drag it along into old age.

Entire ignorance is not so terrible or extreme an evil, and is far from being the greatest of all; too much cleverness and too much learning, accompanied with ill bringing-up, are far more fatal.

I retain what’s interesting to me, but I don’t have a lot of strategic depth.

To know yet to think that one does not know is best; Not to know yet to think that one knows will lead to difficulty.

There can never be any stop to learn about different cultures by travelling to different places. And whatever comes your way, continue the healthy eating habits.

I got my first computer in the 6th grade or so. As soon as I got it, I was interested in finding out how it worked and how the programs worked and then figuring out how to write programs at just deeper and deeper levels within the system.
